چکیده

Most applications for location based services rely on a precise determination of the mobile terminal (MS) location. This paper proposes a method of locating a MS in a GSM cellular system based on the radio signal strength (RSS) and use of neural network (NN). The proposed algorithm is best suited for urban and suburban environments. Due to the big effort during RSS collection from the streets to realize a fingerprint database, predicted RSS-data of the area of concern are rather used for this experiment. An exact modelling of all effects in prediction formula in a complex environment is not appropriate in a practical implementation. Therefore, the predicted data differ from the real one. A system is developed which calibrates the radio propagation prediction data on the basis of sample real collected measurements. During this correction procedure, the instability or stochastic behavior of the RSS is taken into account. An algorithm which reduces the noise in the collected RSS is applied. Having the corrected predicted data, there is no need of collecting the RSS from all the streets to train the NN. The positioning accuracy is compared for different pre-processing methods and calibration shows to reduce the positioning error.

Three Dimensional Localization of an Unknown Target Using Two Heterogeneous Sensors

Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks consist of some different types of sensor nodes deployed in a particular area. Different sensor types can measure different quantity of a source and using the combination of different measurement techniques, the minimum number of necessary sensors is reduced in localization problems. In this paper, we focus on the single source localization in a heterogene...

Estimating the Number of Wideband Radio Sources

In this paper, a new approach for estimating the number of wideband sources is proposed which is based on RSS or ISM algorithms. Numerical results show that the MDL-based and EIT-based proposed algorithm havea much better detection performance than that in EGM and AIC cases for small differences between the incident angles of sources. In addition, for similar conditions, RSS algorithm offers hi...
