Reliable navigation and positioning are becoming imperative in more and more applications for safety-critical purposes, public services and consumer products. A robust localization solution, which will be available continuously, is needed regardless of the specific environment, i.e., outdoors and indoors, and on different platforms such as stand-alone navigators and mobile devices. ICL-GNSS addresses the latest research on wireless and satellite-based positioning techniques to provide reliable and accurate position information with low latency. The emphasis is on the design of mass-market navigation receivers and related tools and methodologies.

The scope includes (but is not limited to) the following topics:

Antennas and RF front-end for GNSS receivers
Design, prototyping and testing of positioning devices
Acquisition, tracking and navigation algorithms
Detection and mitigation techniques for adverse propagation conditions
Wireless and sensor-based localization
GNSS applications for remote sensing, ionospheric sounding and space weather
Precise timing for GNSS and terrestrial systems
Security and privacy in joint communication and navigation systems
Authentication and privacy aspects of positioning
Spoofing countermeasures
Cooperative and peer-to-peer positioning
Positioning based on signals-of-opportunity
Multi-GNSS receivers and emerging navigation satellite systems
Indoor positioning and localisation in densely populated urban areas
Hybrid NAV/COM positioning
Cognitive positioning architectures
Positioning for autonomous systems (robots, planes, land and marine vehicles)
Crowd-sourced and swarm localisation
Location-based mobility models, services and applications
Industrial Internet
