Wireless Local Positioning Systems Lab

      Welcome to the website of the Wireless Local Positioning Systems Lab at Michigan Tech.

      Our website is currently under construction.  We invite you to contact the lab and also to

      comment on our website.

   The WLPS Lab conducts research into solving the current problems facing a wireless local

    positioning system as well as the development of a prototype.  Click for more research.

    This research is done in cooperation with the George Mason University and is supported

     by a grant from the National Science Foundation.   

     The WLPS Lab was created by Assistant Professor Seyed Zekavat in 2004 as part of a

      project funded by research grants from the National Science Foundation.  The project aims

      to solve the issues with current WLPS technology and to also develop a prototype.  From

      this research could spring a number of different devices.  These devices could help drivers

      avoid accidents, assist in rescue missions, and even help save the lives of troops in combat.

      The WLPS is made of a dynamic base station and a number of transceivers.  The

      transceivers location is determined by the base station, according the to the wireless signal's

      time of arrival (TOA) and direction of arrival (DOA).
