"Map-Based Location and Tracking in Multipath Outdoor Mobile Networks"

Nowadays, geolocation services based on GSM/3G networks are getting more and more popular. We suggest a new method of geolocation service which will not make major changes to the current mobile network infrastructure. Instead, it is entirely performed on the mobile network side, making it more robust than other location-based services because it largely eliminated the security threats to the terminals and the location spoofing problems. Our approach is based on a novel database correlation technique over Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) data, and provides a geolocation and tracking technique based on advanced map- and mobility-based filtering. The data are collected from mobile antennas in the urban area. The performance of the geolocation algorithm has been carefully validated by an extensive experimentation, carried out on real data collected from the mobile network antennas of a complex urban environment.
