English Abstract

Smart city offers different services to different people depending on a wish list.

It fulfills people's aspiration level, wherever there is willingness to change and to reform.

Due to the complexity people movement within and between cities, localization techniques became popular with the global positioning system for outdoor applications, followed by Personal Networks (PNs) localization for indoor applications.

PN are designed to provide a flexible and fast wireless communication between user’s devices and other devices, in various indoor environment places.

PN mainly uses indoor positioning systems (IPSs) for improving numerous factors such as Self-organizing sensor networks, location sensitive billing, ubiquitous computing, context- dependent information services, tracking, and guiding.

This paper gives a short survey of some kinds of IPSs, and focuses on triangulation to predict the target location, where for example it calculates the distance by measuring time difference of signals arrival (TDOA) over orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), as one of several techniques identify the distance between the transmitters and receivers.
