TLDR
The authors examine the ability to derive position information from GSM signals, based on their May 1996 achievement of accurate position measurements using GSM, to examine positioning solutions for the GSM group of standards.Abstract:
Due to the FCC requirement that operators of mobile communications networks be able to accurately locate mobile callers requesting emergency assistance via 911 by the year 2001, there has been a lot of activity among cellular and PCS providers to examine cellular positioning options. This article examines positioning solutions for the GSM group of standards. Worldwide deployment of GSM systems is well underway, and the positioning characteristics of the various systems are similar. The authors examine the ability to derive position information from GSM signals, based on their May 1996 achievement of accurate position measurements using GSM. Features of GSM signals relevant to positioning are analyzed as well as results achieved and the authors' ongoing positioning trials. Finally, other issues related to GSM positioning and mobile phone positioning in general are covered.read more
