Emulation of an Active Tag Location Tracking System

In this paper we present the emulation of a location tracking system that uses active tags to identify the position of the active tag wearer. Using emulation we were able to carry out live experiments with such active tag applications. Emulation is done using QOMET, a wireless communication emulator, and the active tag processor emulator. Experiments are performed using the experimentsupport software RUNE. Emulation is used during the development of the pedestrian localization system so as to perform large-scale experiments easily and in a repeatable manner.
