Study thesis about cellular positioning

Here you find my study thesis (Studienarbeit) about the cellular positioning (Zellortung) in the traffic, so it's about how to locate yourself only with fingerprint data and surrounding WiFi access point visibility.

The official title of the study thesis is: Untersuchungen zellbasierter Ortungsverfahren hinsichtlich Genauigkeit und Energieeffizienz

I wrote it for my studies in electrical engineering at the chair "Informationstechnik für Verkehrssysteme" (Institut für Verkehrstelematik an der Fakultät Verkehrswissenschaften "Friedrich List")

Some of the special features of this thesis production are listed here:

• Self-made serial interface: frequent poll of an IO pin of the single board computer (-> myserial-1.00.tar.bz2 (8,6 kiB))
• Usage of Scribus as typesetting program, combined with an own document language implemented in Python: "WiScri" (pronounced like whisky)
• Exchange of the images for the web pdf version with the Python pdfrw framework
• Extensive (bash/awk) scripting system for the measurements on the single board computer
• Usage of new gender forms with umlauts as proposed here.

Remark on the versioning: the official version was 0.450; the here available version 0.451 is pretty similar except few small spelling mistakes and on clarification.
