of different measurement points along a path without ambiguity. of different measurement points along a path without ambiguity.
These conventions are likely to be useful in other measurement
projects as well.

wireless technologies are in-scope. wireless technologies are in-scope.
The purpose is to create an efficient way to describe the location of The purpose is to create an efficient way to describe the location of
