Abstract

As the world is actually moving faster like never before, the challenge of growing smart cities became the biggest concern of the 21st century, calling therefore different new information and communication technologies, human and environmental capital; allowing people to reach the best results ever with less energy and time, hence, it makes human’s life easier. In this sense, Indoor positioning systems (IPS) are among these technologies which provides best services for humanity, specially in emergency cases, allowing them to easily move in indoor environments while the use of outdoor systems based on satellites is critical giving back wrong results. This paper presents a comparative analysis between existing Indoor Positioning Systems proposed in many research papers, based on different criteria.
