Localization in Real GSM Network with Fingerprinting Utilization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper attempts to present current state in the area of user localization in cellular networks and shows custom solution for positioning using pocket computer and fingerprint method also known as fingerprinting. It operates in Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) network, although fingerprinting is also applicable in other wireless networks, such as Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Bluetooth or 802.11. Implementation is explained and it is compared to existing solutions. The performance of the system is evaluated for various scenarios by statistical characteristics and Circular Error Probability (CEP). The scenarios are proposed from observation of various parameters that influence the localization accuracy.

متن کاملPowerLine Positioning: A Practical Sub-Room-Level Indoor Location System for Domestic Use
Using existing communications infrastructure, such as 802.11 and GSM, researchers have demonstrated effective indoor localization. Inspired by these previous approaches, and recognizing some limitations of relying on infrastructure users do not control, we present an indoor location system that uses an even more ubiquitous domestic infrastructure—the residential powerline. PowerLine Positioning...
