IEEE ICC 2008 Tutorial, Location Based Services for Mobiles Location Based Services for Mobiles: I. Introduction Hearability Issue Hearability of a forward-link positioning system usually is quantified by how many reference signals a terminal may utilize to make a positioning fix in a pre-defined positioning duration.  In theory, a terminal need measure parameters of only 4 different reference signals for a precise three-dimension fix.  However, more reference signals a terminal can use, more diversity benefits a terminal may use for a more accurate positioning fix. A hearability issue of a cellular positioning network generally is a dimension limitation issue.  It mostly is due to limitations of network geometry and network deployment. ...

IEEE ICC 2008 Tutorial, Location Based Services for Mobiles Location Based Services for Mobiles: I. Introduction There are many ways locating a mobile in a cellular network. The basic methods include dead reckon, proximity sensing, signal signature tracking, trilateration, multilateration, triangulation, etc. Some major approaches for cellular networks can be illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1. Mobile Positioning Techniques, IEEE ICC 2008 "Location Based Services for Mobiles" Positioning performance is understood through quantifying the two parameters, hearability and accuracy. Hearability indicates how many hearable good references a terminal can track in a single snapshot. A typical number should be not less than 4. Accuracy is a well-...
