Typical examples are restaurant finders, buddy trackers, navigation services or applications in the areas of mobile marketing and mobile gaming. The attractiveness of LBSs is due to the fact that users are not required to enter location information manually but are automatically pinpointed and tracked.  \u003cp\u003eThis book explains the fundamentals and operation of LBSs and gives a thorough introduction to the key technologies and organizational procedures, offering comprehensive coverage of positioning methods, location protocols and service platforms, alongside an overview of interfaces, languages, APIs and middleware with examples demonstrating their usage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplanation and comparison of all protocols and architectures for location services\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIn-depth coverage of satellite, cellular and local positioning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll embracing introduction to 3GPP positioning methods, such as Cell-Id, E-OTD, U-TdoA, OTDoA-IPDL and Assisted GPS\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains the operation of enhanced emergency services such as E-911\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentifies unsolved research issues and challenges in the area of LBSs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive guide will be invaluable to undergraduate and postgraduate students and lecturers in the area of telecommunications.
