The Method for User Localization in the Local Wireless Network in an Emergency

The paper provides an analysis of the use of a number of capabilities of local wireless broadband access networks in the management of rescue people in emergency situations. The article discusses such basic features as localization of users and increasing the availability of information for people who find themselves in dangerous conditions and for the rescue control center. Possible localization methods are considered and an original method is proposed that allows localization to be performed elementwise, i.e. in rooms or in certain areas of the service area. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
