Survey of Cellular Mobile Radio Localization Methods: From 1G to 5G
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona · Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V. (DLR)
Abstract
Cellular systems evolved from a dedicated mobile communication system to an almost omnipresent system with unlimited coverage anywhere and anytime for any device. The growing ubiquity of the network stirred expectations to determine the location of the mobile devices themselves. Since the beginning of standardization, each cellular mobile radio generation has been designed for communication services, and satellite navigation systems, such as Global Positioning System (GPS), have provided precise localization as an add-on service to the mobile terminal. Self-contained localization services relying on the mobile network elements have offered only rough position estimates. Moreover, satellite-based technologies…
