“The Internet will not be successfully translated
to the mobile world without location awareness
which is a significant enabler in order to
translate the Internet into a viable mobile
economy”…

Definition: Location Based Services (2/2)
 Definition:
A Location Based Service is any product, service, or
application that uses knowledge of a mobile subscriber’s
location to offer value to the mobile subscriber or to a third
party
 Mobile LBSs
- Resource and information services based on the location
- Allow customers or applications to request and receive
information based on their geographic location while on the move
 maps, activities, emergency response, law enforcement, inventory
control, geo-fencing, demographic data collection, and so on
 Growing field:
LBSs revenues will be exceeding $10 billion in the U.S. and $50
billion worldwide in 2008. [Reference: Keyira Inc.]

Extending the Today’s Web?
 Event Web (Active Web) applications are
- They may be location- and time- dependent
- Many may not be about surfing the web, but about
searching for location- and time-dependent information
Web 3.0???

Location Data Types
 Absolute location
- Source: GPS receivers, mobile phone networks, geocoding
- Geometric location of user
 Latitude, longitude, elevation, error margin
- Directional indicator (speed and heading)
 Symbolic location (address, semantic related)
- Source: reverse geocoding, fixed beacon, manual entry
- e.g., company/building/floor/office, airline/airplane/seat,
road networks
 Network location
- Source: any computer or mobile device
- Host name, domain name, IP address of a computer

Location Acquisition
 Self-positioning devices
- Require processing power at device
- Provide privacy and parallelism
- e.g., Car navigation system, GPS-enabled cell phone
 Infrastructure-based solution
- Requires transmission power at device
- Provides broader device compatibility
- Centralized vs. distributed location acquisition
 Devices continuously report their positions to a centralized
location server
 Detection of (or by) nearby objects

LBS Architectures
 Key functionality
- Location data management
- Location query processing
 Centralized client-server architecture
- Mobile client report their positions periodically
- Servers handle the location query and location data management
 Distributed client-server architecture
- Partition the location query task into server site processing and
mobile object side processing
- Using server mediation to establish the communication between
mobile objects
 Decentralized peer to peer computing architecture
- Mobile clients serve as server, client, and router for each location
query and location data management task

Positioning Techniques in 3G Networks
 Practical techniques in locating handsets for GSM networks:
-
Cell-ID (Cell Identity) and Cell-ID with TA (Timing Advanced)
TOA (Time-of-arrival) and TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival)
E-OTD (Enhanced-Observed Time Difference)
A-GPS (Assisted-Global Positioning System)
 Possible techniques for 3G networks
-
Cell-ID (or Cell Global ID)
Cell-ID with RTT (Round Trip Time)
OTDOA (Observed Time Difference of Arrival, standards in UMTS)
A-GPS (Assisted-GPS)
 Proposed architecture by the 3GPP for 3G networks
- GMLC (Gateway Mobile Location Centre)
- SMLC (Serving Mobile Location Centre)
- LMU (Location Measurement Units)

Typically 2 km
If Pico cells are
deployed typically
10 – 50 m
Cell ID + TA
TA gives no major improvements in accuracy. However, it is a good
parameter to check whether a handset has connected to the nearest
cell.
E-CGI
250 m – 35 km
250 m – 2.5 km
50 – 550 m
Highly variable
50 – 150 m
Good
More accurate than Cell ID + TA
50 – 150 m
E-OTD
50 – 150 m
Severe multi-path and blocking may sharply degrade performance in
difficult urban conditions. Poor performance in low BTS density areas
such as rural environments. Will fall back to cell ID if method fails
A-GPS
10 m
10 – 20 m
10 – 100 m

Still not proven in many indoor environments – will fall back to Cell ID

Positioning Techniques in WLAN
 Practical techniques for LBSs in WLAN (IEEE 802.11)
- RSS-based approaches
 Received Signal Strengths: requires denser installation of APs
or minimum of 3 APs
- SNMP-based approaches
 IP-MAC address mapping, DHCP log search, SNMP trap
approach
- RADIUS-based approaches
 IP-MAC address mapping, Authentication step
- Device-driven approaches
 Active scan, Passive scan (both require to handle beacon
frames) – probe request & response
 Extra: Internet-based location acquisition
- IP-address as position and position based DNS

Localization
 Alternatively called, ‘Localization’
- Determining geographical locations of persons or devices in
wireless networks
- Ubiquitous office/home, visitor guidance, network
management/resource planning, and wireless network attacker
localizer
 Techniques
- Signal types: infrared (e.g., Active Badge), ultrasound (e.g., MIT
Cricket, UCLA Medusa), Ultra-wideband (e.g., Ubisense), RF
- Many are indoor applicable methodologies
 Existing methods
- RSS pattern-matching approach
 Time-varying signal strength: high fluctuation due to RF fading, mobility
 Configuration overhead: frequent full-scale survey and training
- Path loss model based approach
- Dedicated hardware based approach
- Signal-distance map from RSS [Lim ‘06, INFOCOM]
