Exactly determining the geographical position of a telecommunication device is an open research challenge for the personal and mobile communications community. In this paper we explore the terminal localization problem in a GSM system, and we develop a set of carrier independent solutions. Specifically, we introduce four different techniques, all based on the 6-strongest cells traditionally used in the GSM standard. Through extensive simulations we show that our technique can achieve remarkable results without requiring any additional equipment in the core network or the mobile devices. © 2008 IEEE.

Abstract
Exactly determining the geographical position of a telecommunication device is an open research challenge for the personal and mobile communications community. In this paper we explore the terminal localization problem in a GSM system, and we develop a set of carrier independent solutions. Specifically, we introduce four different techniques, all based on the 6-strongest cells traditionally used in the GSM standard. Through extensive simulations we show that our technique can achieve remarkable results without requiring any additional equipment in the core network or the mobile devices. © 2008 IEEE.File in questo prodotto:
