Dynamic resource look-up and discovery architecture for indoor location-based service
Hyeong Gon Jo, Seol Young Jeong, Soon Ju Kang · 2012
Recently, in the large indoor environment, such as hospital, office building and factory, there are numerous resources (e.g. wheelchair, printer, fire extinguisher, etc.). To use these resources, a user needs to search and track its location. In the legacy architecture for the location based service(LBS), its server can be unstable due to the traffic congestion as the system load increasing, which can cause a single point of failure problem. To solve these problems, we propose a dynamic resource look-up and discovery architecture with the concept of self-organizing, which occurs naturally in spontaneous environment. By applying the self-organizing feature, we can guarantee both scalability and user-friendliness in the LBS.
