and emerging radio standards with readily available chipsets on the market such as WiFi, Ultra-Wide Band_x000D_
(UWB) and RFID. With these technologies new applications are starting to emerge. It is now possible to make_x000D_
use of wireless transceivers for localization and high precision position finding of objects in indoor_x000D_
environments. Intense research is beginning to make mapping of rooms with high precision using only a couple_x000D_
of very low cost transceivers a reality. This could have many potential applications, including assisted living_x000D_
for people with vision impairments or elderly persons. It could also be used in warehouses to remotely_x000D_
determine the location of inventory in real time., program purpose french : Wireless communications is a multibillion dollar international business and there are now a number of mature_x000D_
