Abstract :

Background: Since the 1990â??s, location technology has been a mandated feature of commercial wireless networks (in the US) as a consequence of the FCCâ??s E-911 service requirements. Support for this mandate has been a challenge for all wireless service providers, throughout the last decade. The challenges stem from a number of technical, environmental, and market realities. These challenges, as well as the technical development that has gone on to help address them, will be the focus of this presentation. Summary: There are a number of different technologies currently employed for wireless location. These technologies can be broadly grouped into categories of: â??satelliteâ? or â??terrestrialâ?, â??handset basedâ? or â??network basedâ?, and â??trilateration/triangulationâ? or â??pattern matchingâ?. Each technology group comes with benefits and challenges and each has performance that is largely dictated by the local environment and morphologies (e.g. urban/rural, in -building/open-sky).This presentation will provide a technical assessment of each of the technology groups and specific technologies and will relate their capabilities. The evaluation will include operation of the technologies independently, as well as in combination â??hybridâ? operation.
