Cooperative Mobile Positioning and Tracking in Hybrid WiMAX/WLAN Networks
Studenteropgave: Kandidatspeciale og HD afgangsprojekt
- Francescantonio Della Rosa
With the Cooperative Mobile Positioning
(COMET) project we have started investi-
gations in connection with the fourth gen-
eration (4G) with the purposes of design-
ing an "augmentation" solution that could
overcome the issues regarding GPS and
GPS-free technologies in order to o®er lo-
calization to anyone, anytime and any-
where. The idea behind the COMET orig-
inates from the fact that more likely re-
liable RSS measurements detected among
neighboring mobiles can enhance the lo-
calization accuracy also in environments
where usual terrestrial-based localization
techniques o®er a bad estimation.
For these purposes we have implemented
an hybrid Mobile WiMAX / WLAN sce-
nario where a data fusion for the posi-
tion estimate is performed by the Extended
Kalman Filter. Results obtained from the
static and mobile case show that cooper-
ation can enhance the location accuracy,
o®ering more than 26 % of gain.
