Abstract: | An innovative solution to user location estimation in 3G networks is presented. The proposed solution uses network information such as Cell-ID and transmitted signal strength, which are easily captured by current 3G mobile handsets, as input to a location detection algorithm which searches the whole network coverage area for the most probable point of origin. This search is performed within a software model of the radio network, which faithfully replicates the provider's live network. The algorithm was optimized through the application of a genetic algorithm to provide an estimate of the user's location in quasi real-time. Simulation results demonstrate that allowing for a 450 m error, the algorithm is capable of locating the user's position in 72% of the cases within an urban environment. |
