  1. TECHNOLOGIES FOR WIRELESS GEOLOCATION

  2. GBS • GBS– Geolocation base station (obtain location parameters of mobile station directly or indirectly). • BTS – Base transceiver subsystem • BSC – Base station controller BSC BTS GBS

  3. WIRELESS GEOLOCATION • GEOLOCATION– Location based service to mobile user. • GBS – RECEIVER • MS – TRANSMITTER • LOCATION OF GBS - (Xi , Yi) -> KNOWN • LOCATION OF MS – (Xm , Ym) -> TO BE FOUND

  4. TECHNIQUES TO DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF AN MS

  5. DIRECTION-BASED • Direction is determined from the AOA (angle of arrival) of received signal. • Receiver(GBS) measures the direction of the received signal from the target transmitter (MS) using directional antennas / antenna array. • Accuracy depends on where the transmitter is located with respect to the receiver. • More than 2 receivers are needed for accuracy.

  6. AOA TECHNIQUE GBS1 GBS2

  7. DISADVANTAGES CAUSE EFFECT Not suitable for indoor geolocation system. Not suitable for low costindoor applications. LOS path may be blocked buildings, walls and cause errors. Requires expensive array antennas at the receiver(GBS) to track the direction of arrival of signal.

  8. APPLICATION • Can be used in next generation cellular system where smart antennas are used to increase capacity.

  9. DISTANCE BASED • Distance between the MS and GBS can be determined using parameters such as • Time of arrival • Signal strength • Signal phase

  10. DISTANCE-BASED GBS1 d1 GBS2 GBS3 d2 d3

  11. ARRIVAL TIME METHOD • Arrival time method uses 2 ways of identifying the distance : • Time of arrival (TOA) • Time difference of arrival (TDOA)

  12. TOA TDOA It is the difference in TOA used to locate the mobile. It provides hyperbolas on which the receiver(GBS) must be located at foci. • It is based on the propagation time of signal from a MS to multiple GBSs. • It provides circles centered on the mobile or fixed transceiver.

  13. TOA TDOA Does not require transit time. Requires time synchronization only among all GBSs. • Requires knowledge of the transmit time of transmitter. • Hence strict time synchronization between MS and the GBSs is required.

  14. RLS ALGORITHM • It is used when there are errors in the distance measurements. • Let the distance di from theith GBS , di=c* where c – velocity of light – time taken by the signal to reach the GBS.

  15. Location of ith GBS – (xi , yi) • Location of mobile – (x , y) • We have N equations of the form: fi(x , y)= (x-xi)^2 + (y-yi)^2-di^2=0 for i= 1,2,3,……,N.

  16. SIGNAL STRENGTH METHOD • If the transmitted power is known, measuring the RSS (received signal strength) at the GBS can provide an estimate of the distance. • Distance is determined using a circle, centered on the receiver(GBS), on which the mobile transmitter must lie. • Accuracy can be improved by using premeasured RSS contours and by using fuzzy logic algorithm.

  17. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES Very unreliable due to shadow fading (fluctuations around the mean value and expected value caused due to signal being blocked from GBS). GBS do not distinguish between signal strength in los path and reflected path. • Low complexity receiver

  18. RECEIVED SIGNAL PHASE METHOD • Reference receivers (GBSs) measure the carrier phase. ADVANTAGES: • Differential GPS can improve location accuracy from about 20m to within 1m. DISADVANTAGES: • Ambiguity resulting from periodic property of the signal phase. • Multipath condition causes more errors.

  19. APPLICATION • Used in indoor geolocation system, along with TOA/TDOA or RSS method to fine- tune the location of MS.

  20. FINGERPRINTING-BASED • Develops a “signature database” of a location grid in specific service areas. • The received signal is measured as a vehicle moves along this grid in specific areas and recorded in signature database. • When another vehicle moves in the same area, the signal received from it is compared with the entry in the database, thus its location is determined.

  21. APPLICATOON • Can be used in indoor applications.
