This report gives an overview of all the location-finding
technologies used for estimating the position of
user equipment (handset) in a wireless communication
network. It outlines the most common traditional
location tracking method, Global Positioning Service
(GPS). It then contrasts this against new methods
of location technologies which are available using
the most common wireless network in the world, Global
System for Mobile Communication, (GSM). The objective
of the re-search is to critically assess the location-finding
techniques used in providing location services,
which will involve mathematical modelling and experimentation.
These will then be presented, along with an extensive
literature search, to illustrate the expected results
against actual measurements.
This report also shows the results of an experiment
that carried out using En-hanced Cell Identity with
Timing Advance incorporating triangulation model,
and the range of experiments which will be used
in the future.
