A system for object localization in an indoor environment, such as a passenger cabin of a vehicle or an aircraft, includes a wireless communication infrastructure to facilitate wireless communication within the indoor environment via a wireless communication network and including at least one wireless access point to provide user devices access to the wireless communication network within the indoor environment. The wireless access point is adapted to acquire signal propagation data of wireless signals transmitted over the wireless communication network along multiple propagation paths. A computing element is configured to analyze the signal propagation data and extract localization data from the signal propagation data, the localization data specifying the position of objects located within the indoor environment.

System and method for object localization in an indoor environment

A routing device for forwarding data packets in a data network is described. The routing device establishes a communicative connection with multiple other such routing devices that implement the same functions. A data network includes multiple routing devices as described herein. In that data network, each routing device implements and applies a proactive approach with routing tables in a stable part of the data network, and a reactive approach in an unstable part of the data network. When a packet is transmitted from a stable part of the data network to an unstable part of the data network (or vice versa), the forwarding approach is changed along the path of the packet. Thus, the routing device and the data network mitigate the effect of overhead of proactive routing approaches and the latency of reactive routing approaches.
