3. What is cellular positioning ?
3
Determining the position of a Mobile Station
(MS),using
location sensitive parameters .
GNNS(Global Navigation Satellite System)
A network of satellites that used for positioning
and navigation around the globe.
US- Global Positioning System(GPS)
Russian- GLObal NAvigation Satellite
System(GLONASS)
European-GALILEO System

4. Why we need cellular positioning ?
4
To provide location based services like...
Tracking criminals.
Providing emergency services .
Military - defence system .
Map-making.
Navigation-car navigation system .
Mountain climbing .

5. Types of positioning systems.
5
Mobile centric systems.
Positioning technology inserted inside the
cell.
Currently there 200 millions of cell phones with
out GPS receiver.
Network centric systems.
Positioning technology resides in the network.
This type of systems are compatible with the
phones currently in use.

7. What is GPS ?
7
Global positioning system(GPS).
A network of satellites that continuously
transmit coded information, which makes it
possible to precisely identify locations on earth
by measuring distance from satellite.
Developed in 1980s by U.S Department of
defence.
24 satellites approximately 20200 km above
the earth

8. Differential GPS(DGPS)
8
By placing additional GPS receiver(called
reference station)
A technique where a data receiver at a known
location is used to correct the data at an
unknown location.
DGPS corrected solution is significantly more
accurate , typical DGPS accuracy is 1-5
meters.

Wide Area Augmentation
Signal.
Wide Area Augmentation Signal.
A satellite navigation system designed by the
U.S Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) to
boost the accuracy of GPS satellite navigation
.
Wide Area refers to a network of 25 ground
reference stations cover the U.S and some of
Canada and Mexico.
Each station connected to a master station.

13. Methods of measurement
13
Time Of Arrival(TOA)
Estimated by distance between transmitter and
receiver.
Transmitted by the MS and received at
multiple BSs.
Requirement:
-Position of satellite
-Timestamp
Dept of : Electronics & Telecommunication.,KIT,BBSR
17. 17
Time Different Of
Arrival(TDOA)
Hyperbolic system.
Converted to a constant distance difference to
two base stations.
Intersection of
two hyperbolas.
Requirement:
-Geographical coordinates.
-Precisely synchronized clocks.
Dept of : Electronics & Telecommunication.,KIT,BBSR
20. Signal Strength
20
Distributed Receiving System(monitoring
post).
Distributed Transmission System(Sing post.)
Similar to TOA.
Measures signal attenuation.
Path-loss ∆P(dB)=10α.log(f/c)-10βlog(4πd).
Okumura-Hata model (OH).
Long distance model.

Dept of : Electronics & Telecommunication.,KIT,BBSR
22. Angle Of Arrival(AOA)
22
Measuring the direction angles.
Least two antenna array systems
The position of the cell phone is determined by
the intersection of the two bearings of the cell
sites.
Require:
-Two dimensional positioning
-Antennas installation
-Interconnection of antennas

25. Conclusion
25
We have described about accurate
positioning of mobile telephones, which can be
used for several applications.
The important considerations to be undertaken
while selecting a location based technology
are location accuracy , implementation cost,
reliability, increasing functionality.
