In contrast to the outdoors scenario, where Global Navigation Satellite System is widely adopted, in (collaborative) indoor positioning systems a large variety of technologies, techniques, and methods is being used. Moreover, the diversity of evaluation procedures and scenarios hinders a direct comparison. This paper presents a systematic review that gives a general view of the current CIPSs. A total of 84 works, published between 2006 and 2020, have been identified. These articles were analyzed and classified according to the described system\u2019s architecture, infrastructure, technologies, techniques, methods, and evaluation. The results indicate a growing interest in collaborative positioning, and the trend tend to be towards the use of distributed architectures and infrastructure-less systems. Moreover, the most used technologies to determine the collaborative positioning between users are wireless communication technologies (Wi-Fi, Ultra-WideBand, and Bluetooth). The predominant collaborative positioning techniques are Received Signal Strength Indication, Fingerprinting, and Time of Arrival\/Flight, and the collaborative methods are particle filters, Belief Propagation, Extended Kalman Filter, and Least Squares. Simulations are used as the main evaluation procedure. On the basis of the analysis and results, several promising future research avenues and gaps in research were identified.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21031002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,2]],"date-time":"2021-02-02T13:01:12Z","timestamp":1612270872000},"page":"1002","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":143,"title":["Collaborative Indoor Positioning Systems: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9206-7496","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pavel","family":"Pascacio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of New Imaging Technologies, Universitat Jaume I, 12006 Castell\u00f3n, Spain"},{"name":"Electrical Engineering Unit, Tampere University, 33014 Tampere, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0572-5716","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sven","family":"Casteleyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of New Imaging Technologies, Universitat Jaume I, 12006 Castell\u00f3n, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4338-4334","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joaqu\u00edn","family":"Torres-Sospedra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of New Imaging Technologies, Universitat Jaume I, 12006 Castell\u00f3n, Spain"},{"name":"UBIK Geospatial Solutions S.L., 12006 Castell\u00f3n, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1718-6924","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena Simona","family":"Lohan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical Engineering Unit, Tampere University, 33014 Tampere, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2169-4606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jari","family":"Nurmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical Engineering Unit, Tampere University, 33014 Tampere, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kushki, A., Plataniotis, K.N., and Venetsanopoulos, A.N.
