TY - JOUR AB - In this paper, we propose a novel similarity measure to be used for localizing mobile terminals by comparing measured signal power levels with a database of predictions. The proposed measure provides the possibility to incorporate inherent information about signal power level measurements requested by the serving base station but not reported by the mobile terminal. Increased positioning accuracy was observed both in simulations and with real field data AU - Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold AU - Peschke, Sven ID - 11799 IS - 1 JF - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology KW - cellular phone positioning KW - cellular radio KW - measured signal power levels KW - mobile handsets KW - mobility management (mobile radio) TI - A Novel Similarity Measure for Positioning Cellular Phones by a Comparison With a Database of Signal Power Levels VL - 56 ER -
