Cellsense-An Accurate GSM Positioning System Based on Android

Abstract

In this paper, we present Cell Sense, which is a probabilistic received signal strength indicator (RSSI)-based fingerprinting location determination system for Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) phones. Unlike current fingerprinting techniques for GSM phones that use a deterministic approach for estimating the location of cell phones, the Cell Sense probabilistic technique provides more accurate localization. To evaluate our proposed system, we implemented Cell Sense on Android-based phones.
