Unlike outdoor areas where the global positioning system dominates as the positioning
technology of choice for navigation, indoor areas do not have a preferred positioning
technology choice for navigation. In this chapter, we review some indoor positioning
technologies, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RFID (radio-frequency identification), dead
reckoning, and acoustic technologies for positioning in indoor areas. We describe these
technologies and discuss their suitability for indoor navigation.
