20. Location Tracking Approaches
• Real-time location tracking and positioning systems can be classified by the
measurement techniques they employ to determine mobile device location
• Approaches differ in terms of the specific technique used to sense and
measure the position of the mobile device in the target environment
• Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) can be grouped into four basic
categories of systems that determine position on the basis of the following:
20
Cell of origin (nearest cell) Distance based (lateration) Angle based (Angulation) Location patterning

21. Cell of Origin
• One of the simplest mechanisms of estimating approximate location in any
system based on RF cells is the concept of ‘cell of origin’ (or ‘associated
access point’ in Wi-Fi 802.11 systems)
• When receiving cells, provide received signal strength indication (RSSI)
for mobile devices; the use of the highest signal strength technique can
improve
location granularity over the cell of origin.
21BRKEWN-2650

22. Distance-Based (Trilateration) Techniques
• Trilateration can be performed by using received signal strength (RSS)
• Measured by either the mobile device or the receiving sensor
22
10dB
The closer the distance the greater
the rate of change in RSS in
relationship to distance
The change in RSS in
relationship to distance flattens
out at greater distances

23. Angle-Based (Angulation) Techniques
• The AoA locates the mobile station by
determining the angle of incidence at which
signals arrive at the receiving sensor
• Requires two receiving sensors for location
estimation, with improved accuracy coming
from at least three or more receiving sensors
(triangulation)
23BRKEWN-2650

24. Location Patterning (Fingerprinting)
• Location patterning is based on the sampling
and recording of radio signal behaviour
patterns in specific environments
• Each potential device location ideally
possesses a distinctly unique RF "signature”
24
Because of fading and other phenomena, the observed signal
strength of a mobile device at a particular location is not static but
is seen to vary over time. As a result, calibration phase software
typically records many samples of signal strength for a mobile
device during the actual sampling process.
