2. Cellular Network Positioning Definition Equipment and algorithms applied to CDMA cellular wireless telecommunications to determine geographic position, and in some cases the velocity and direction of travel of wireless devices. Source: http://www.3gamericas.org/English/Technology_Center

3. Cellular Network Positioning Stakeholders • Emergency Services (esp. US) • Communications Authorities • Mobile Phone Operators – E911 (2000-2005) • Mobile Phone Users

4. Cellular Network Positioning Benefits • Enhanced 911 (FCC 2000 Mandate) • Traffic Information • Location Based Billing • Enhanced Roadside Assistance • RF/Network Optimisation • Navigational Assistance • Personal Location

5. Cellular Network Positioning Current Standards and Previous Work • IS-801 (Positioning Standard) • IS-95 (CDMA Communications Standard) • Rappaport (Various Papers) • SNAP Laboratory Work • UWCC Mobile Positioning Study • FCC 94-102 Phase II Automatic Location Identification

6. Positioning Concepts Concept of Positioning • GPS: Uses at least 3 satellites (4th for time/DGPS) • Uses Trilateration to determine position • Uses timing signals to determine relative position Source: http://www.dod.mil/gps.html

7. Positioning Concepts GPS • Each satellite sends 2 signals: • Location of Satellite: • Timing signal (Pseudo-Random Code): • For the Receiver: • Transmit time: • Distance from Satellite:

8. Positioning Concepts GPS • The receiver is somewhere on a sphere of radius • Intersection of 3 spheres leaves possible 2 locations • Impossible locations are ignored • Coordinates are now known Source: http://mail.colonial.net/~abeckwith/gps.html

9. Cellular Network Positioning Source: Caffery and Stüber: Subscriber location in CDMA Cellular Networks, 1998 Technology Approaches • Network-Based Approaches • Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) • Angle of Arrival • Multipath Analysis • Receive Power • Handset-Based Approaches • GPS • Network-Assisted GPS • Advanced Forward Link Trilateration • Enhanced Observed Time Difference (E-OTD)

10. Cellular Network Positioning Compatibility • Network-Based Approaches • Does not require air interface modifications • Requires additional base station equipment • Added system maintenance • Handset-Based Approaches • Requires air interface modifications (TIA PN-4589 and TR 45.1) • Requires handset upgrades/replacement • Added system maintenance

11. Cellular Network Positioning UWCC Study Findings • Universal Wireless Communications Consortium (UWCC) • Revenue from New Services • Location is High Value, Low Bandwidth Data • Location Powers the Wireless Web • Enriches Value Added Internet Content

12. Cellular Network Positioning Proposed Solution • 2 Goals: • Minimal Network Changes / Maximum Compatibility • Greatest Accuracy • 2-D solution • Explore hybrid Handset/Network solutions • Conform to Australian and International Standards • Make recommendations for Australian E-000

13. Cellular Network Positioning Proposed Solution • Combination Network-Based Solution • TDOA • Receive Power • Hybrid Network/Handset Solution • E-OTD • Investigate Practicality and User Impact

14. Thesis A Current Status Current Status • Literature Review Completed by Session 1 • Binghao Li’s Test Data Collated and Processed • Thesis Part B Planned

15. Thesis B Planning Timeline • Schedule has thus far been Accurate • Resources Acquired • GPS Reference Books • TDOA Test Data
