WiFi-Fingerprint is extensively utilized for indoor localization with the advent of high-density wireless networks deployment and research on ubiquitous intelligence. Nevertheless, establishing an elaborate radio map a highly time-consuming task. Aiming to alleviate this problem enhance WiFi-based accuracy, paper has done following contributions.

Due to the advent and pervasive deployment of wireless local area networks, WiFi-based indoor localization systems have received increasing attention in last few years. However, their accuracy has always been a challenging issue. In addition, because diverse interference such as multipath effects, block signals, an unstable or weak signal itself, etc., not all access points (APs) are informative for localization. Faced with these problems, we propose model by modifying large errors enhancing...

Corridors-in-the-sky is a new airspace structure designed to accommodate high density trac by grouping flights with similar trajectories. Less air controller workload expected than classic structures. Thus, corridors-in-the-sky may increase national capacity and reduce flight delays. To evaluate/design corridors-in-thesky, besides identifying locations, their utilization, altitudes, impacts on non-corridor need be analyzed. Although not providing complete analysis, this paper chooses single...

Flight envelope limits are represented...
In the national airspace system, sectors get overloaded due to high traffic demand and inefficient designs. Overloads can be eliminated in some cases by redesigning sector boundaries.
