Design of Location Service System for Wireless Ad Hoc Network

Abstract

Location based services bring much convenience to people when they go to a specific place. It is believed that location based services are likely to be a killer application of the wireless Internet. A new location based services system is proposed that is complementary to traditional location based services using positioning technologies. Clients and servers in this system are connected using wireless technologies. Besides, a service range improvement method and corresponding routing protocol are proposed to help the client who is not in the location service range connect to the server through other clients using ad hoc connection. The system can work indoor and people can get desired location based services anytime and anywhere.
