Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for location privacy protection. In some examples, location privacy protection is provided by determining a maximum number of dummy location information sets to be transmitted to an LBS provider along with actual location information based on a comparison of expected LBS data to be received and bandwidth availability, as well as expected power usage on a mobile device transmitting the information and available power for the mobile device. The dummy information may be generated such that realistic trajectories are obtained without enabling an intruder to detect a user's actual path when the user is moving.
