Abstract: In this paper radio positioning techniques using "Signals of Opportunity (SOP)" are discussed.In some applications of navigation and positioning, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), in general, and the Global Positioning System (GPS), in particular, do not work well and therefore researchers are interested in using other sources of radio signals (which are intended for other purposes) for the navigation and radio positioning applications.In this contribution first we mention some drawbacks of GPS.Then several types of signals of opportunity for positioning are enlisted and the advantages and disadvantages of these signals as well as methods of measurements are presented.The most crucial challenges of SOP for radio positioning are explained.Finally, a brief conclusion on the usage of signals of opportunity is presented.
