Mobile Location Tracking Techniques: Analysis and Evaluation

Abstract

Information about the location of a mobile station (MS) can be very useful in providing critical services required during rescuing operations. It can be useful in providing navigational services. Additionally it can help in tackling issues like co-channel interference and limitations of frequency spectrum. This paper analyses and evaluates mobile location tracking techniques in terms of accuracy, cost and processing load.
