A Brief History of Indoor Wi-Fi Location
EarlyDeployment ofIndoor Wi-Fi
-Retail industry focuson Location- Hospitality industryhungry for Location- Infrastructureinterested in monitoringdensity and flow
Early Deployment ofLocation Service
using Wi-Fi- Infrastructure basedLocation/Context
Indoor Location for:- Asset Tracking- Network Diagnostics- Tag based services- Indoor Navigation- Free Wi-Fi
Advent of Smartphones-Apps hungry for bandwidth andLocation- Wi-Fi offload from 3G
1999-2002 2003-2004 2005-2007 2007-2009 2010-????

Infrastructure Based Location -Highlights
Every Wi-Fi Client and RFID tagged entity tracked in real-time (2-8 secs)
Nothing special needed on the endpoints (clients/tags)
Enterprise Applications could leverage the Location/Context information
- Monitor and Track IV Pumps in Hospitals
- Monitor temperature of critical medicines in freezers
- Find missing or stolen assets (university campus)
- Trackman-downsituations in hazardous areas
Location considered a side-benefit of Wi-Fi networks with a smalladditional investment
Primarily using RSSI and RTT technologies, with accuracy of 3-10 meters,depending on density of deployment
Improve operational efficiency, reduce capital expenses, enhance workerproductivity and safety

Then came Smartphonesand Tablets
Every smartphone is a Wi-Fi Client
More and more demand for easy indoor navigation to match outdoor GPS
Apps that leveraged indoor location became reality
E.g. The American Museum of Natural History deployed a popular app for museumcustomers
Users demand (free) Wi-Fi access everywhere!!!
Infrastructure based location is useful in some situations but not all
Not truly real-time
Infrastructure really not aware of the characteristics of the phone (speed, orientation, etc)
Challenging for an App to communicate with the infrastructure to get its own location
(security, networks identity, etc.)
The infrastructure wants to monitor and monetize the smartphone traffic

Client Computed Location
Since the Smartphone has enough resources and information, it couldpotentially compute its own location (probably with some assistance fromthe infrastructure)
More Accurate only need to compute its own location and nothing else
More real-time the phone knows what the user is doing
More responsive Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Compass, etc. can be leveraged
No Security Issuesit is computing its own location and not any other clients
Location/Context is only half the story
Apps need to use the Location to help the user
Need quality maps, POIs
Turn by Turn navigation Apps

The Infrastructure and SmartphoneInterplay
Since every Smartphone is a Wi-Fi device, it can be tracked(anonymously) by the Wireless infrastructure
Collectively knowing the density and traffic patterns of the Wi-Fi devicescan help the infrastructure to improve customer experience, as wellimprove the efficiency of operations
Airports, Train stations Stadiums
Shopping Malls
Museums
The infrastructure could alert the customer relationship manager when ahigh-worth customer (carrying a smartphone) walks into the bank
Retailers looking to understand customer movement patterns and offerbetter services
Instant offers based on proximity
Place digital signage based on traffic patterns (time of day, day of week, etc.)

Let Services Find the User
Too many Apps and the user doesnt know which one to use
Common challenges faced by most users at venues:
Where is the restroom, coffee shop?
What is the arrival/departure timing of my flight?
Any coupons for this Hotspot?
Why cant the venue tell me the most common stuff without me searching,finding and launching an App, and connecting to a Wi-Fi network?
Thanks to 802.11u and some infrastructure support, a smartphone candiscover interesting/relevant information about the venue, pre-
associationwith a Wi-Fi network Leveraging Wi-Fi has progressed way beyond just Location service
For retailers, it is a tool to attract and retain customers
For venue owners, it is a great way to attract tenants and offer enhanced services
For many others, it is a great way to understand customer movement and behavior withoutbreaching any privacy concerns

What is Wi-Fi Local Service Discovery?
Wi-Fi Local Service Discovery (LSD).
Allows Venues to Publish
And Mobile Devices to Discover
Special and Relevant Services Available and Delivered onthe Local Wi-Fi Network

In Conclusion
The advent and proliferation of smartphones and apps has had a bigimpact on indoor location evolution
Every vertical (retailer, hospitality, airports, etc.) wants to learn more abouttheir customers and offer more services, and indoor location technologyand local services discovery fully enables that
Every business/venue wants to leverage the Wi-Fi network they haveinvested in to do more stuff and increase the ROI
Users expect Wi-Fi to be available everywhere, and mostly free
Carriers embracing Hotspot 2.0 to make Wi-Fi experience as seamlessand secure as the cellular experience
