Abstract
The detection of fraud in wireless systems is made easier when the network is continuously aware of the location of mobile handsets. For existing cellular systems, location awareness requires handsets to be powered on. We explore ways to exploit the autonomous registration capabilities of handsets in order to detect the presence of illegitimate clones. Throughout the paper, location awareness is used as a new paradigm for organizing new and existing fraud detection techniques
