User Location Service over an 802 . 11 Ad-Hoc Network

User location service for context-aware applications in wireless network is of great academia and industry interest, many research efforts were spent on obtaining location information within wireless network. This paper presents a different approach of determining location information. The location information is obtained over an ad-hoc wireless network, using IEEE 802.11 protocol. A triangulation method is described based on an empirical radio propagation model. Evaluations of both the propagation model and the triangulation method are conducted with
