| description | The increasing adoption of location-based services drives the pervasive adoption of localization systems available anywhere. Environments equipped with multiple indoor localization systems (ILSs) require managing the transition from one ILS to another in order to continue localizing the user's device even when moving indoor or outdoor. In this article, we focus on the handoff procedure, whose goal is to enable a device to trigger the transition between ILSs when specific conditions are verified. We distinguish between the triggering and managing operations, each requiring specific actions. We describe the activation of the handoff procedure by considering three types of ILSs design, each with increasing complexity. Moreover, we define five handoff algorithms-based RSSI signal analysis and we test them in a realistic environment with two nearby ILSs. We establish a set of evaluation metrics to measure the performance of the handoff procedure. |
