Location information is becoming increasingly important in many pervasive computing applications and it has been widely used in various industries as location aware that can provide functions such as navigation aids, geographic contextual information, movement tracking, emergency location, geographically selective communication and many other useful functions. The objective of this project is to implement Location Based Services (LBS) for medical facilities such as hospitals and asylums in order to improve their operations. For the first half of the project duration which is this semester, I mainly focus on the problem of localization. Therefore, based on my knowledge and developed tools in localization, I can further develop a locationbased service system. In order to performthis project, I will create a simulation whereby I will select one area probably my hostel house to study the problem of localization. My goal is to locate a person when she/he is walking around the house. To achieve the goal, we will encounter a lot of problems such as, how to collect the signals from the wireless access points, how to process the data, how to choose and apply the algorithm in order to use the collected signals and so on. Every problem mentioned will affectthe accuracy in localization. Therefore in this report, we will introduce how we can solve this problems.
