Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and a system for estimating the location of a terminal on base station basis are provided to accurately estimate the location of the terminal in consideration with signal transmission direction information of the base station. CONSTITUTION: A base station signal information receiver(510) receives base station signal information about the base station signal. The base station signal is transmitted from one or more base station to the terminal. A base station information receiver(520) receives the signal transfer direction information. A location estimator(540) estimates the location of the terminal in consideration of the base station signal information.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for determining a moving direction of a mobile terminal by using a signal dragging effect are provided to determine a moving direction of a mobile terminal being moved without complicated vector calculation by a GPS device. A positioning unit(210) determines a location of a mobile terminal based on base station information. A moving direction determining unit(220) determines a moving direction of the mobile terminal based on the location information of the mobile terminal and base station location information included in the base station information. The positioning unit determines a location of the mobile terminal based on a base station signal received from the base station and the base station information corresponding to the base station signal.
Abstract:
A method and a system for determining a location of a mobile communication terminal are provided to measure similarity between signal pattern data of the terminal requesting location determination and signal pattern data recorded in a pattern database, and determine the location of the terminal by using the selected similar signal pattern data, thereby selecting similar signal pattern data having high similarity. A method for determining a location of a mobile communication terminal comprises the following steps of: recording and maintaining first collected signal pattern data in a pattern database in association with location information(S210); receiving second signal pattern data from the mobile communication terminal requesting location determination(S220); calculating a distance measure with respect to the received second signal pattern data and the first signal pattern data recorded in the pattern database, and selecting one or more similar signal pattern data corresponding to the second signal pattern data among the first signal pattern data by using the distance measure(S230); and generating final location information of the mobile communication terminal based on the selected similar signal pattern data(S240).
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for judging the existence of a signal transmitted through a repeater are provided to effectively correct a positioning error generated due to the existence of a repeater in a positioning system by judging whether a transmitted signal has been through a repeater. Using the strength information of transmitted signals, a signal judgement part judges an estimated repeater signal as a signal transmitted from a base station if the strength of the estimated repeater signal is smaller than the minimum critical strength(S910). In case the strength of the estimated repeater signal is larger than the minimum critical strength, however, the signal judgement part judges whether a signal received from another sector of the base station exists(S920). If such a signal doesn't exist, the signal judgement part judges whether the strength of the estimated repeater signal is larger than a call stabilization strength(S930). If so, the signal judgement part judges the estimated repeater signal as a signal transmitted through a repeater.
Abstract:
A positioning system of a mobile communication terminal for improving position measurement technology through self learning algorithm and a method thereof are provided to self revise BS(Base Station) information or environmental variables by using accuracy in GPS(Global Positioning System)-based positioning results, so as to improve network-based positioning technology without a separate additional cost. The first self learning DB(340) accumulates GPS-based positioning results, network information for BS identification, and network-based positioning results. A self learning processor(330) conducts a self learning process by using the accumulated results and information, and generates self learning processing results associated with the network-based positioning. The second self learning DB(350) accumulates the self learning processing results by matching the results with BS information. A network-based positioning unit(320) generates the network-based positioning results through the network-based positioning, and updates the generated results in the first self learning DB(340).
