Abstract

Location based services utilize mobile location to provide enhanced services to users. Although Global Positioning System (GPS) provides an accurate determination of mobile location, it can drain the mobile device battery and its reliability might be compromised in urban environments with dense and tall buildings. This work proposes a battery-conscious solution for locating a mobile device by tracking serving base stations. For pplications where mobiles travel specified routes, such as school buses and public transportation, the mobile location may be determined by collecting serving based stations information along the routes. Our drive tests indicate that collected cell Id data is repeatable and can be used to reliably determine mobile location
