Abstract
This research introduced the latest method of tracking and locating of client-based mobile phone which will eliminate the limitation of the build-in GPS phone. It has been known that GPS usage is limited in buildings and places unreachable by satellite signal. In order to find better and more accurate results, the method of integrating Wi-Fi signal, cell locations and vector calculation to track and locate mobile phone whereabouts are introduced. Furthermore, it would also be beneficial to develop this method to be applied with other utility programs e.g. delivery truck tracking system or personal locating system via mobile phone.
Highlights
Mobile technology has been continuously and rapidly developed over the past years
One of the routes was chosen as the route that received the data of Cell Location only to study the tracking accuracy in the case where there were neither GPS nor Wi-Fi signals available in the area
The researcher had installed an application that had developed by the researcher onto a mobile phone to collect data
Summary
Mobile technology has been continuously and rapidly developed over the past years. the cellular network that has been improved but the cellular phone unit or mobile phone itself has been greatly improved with state-of-the-art technology and numeral enhanced features. Mobile phones are built to be faster with better and higher CPU speed and larger memory storage They are designed to be more modern and more fashionable looking with additional features like bigger screen, touch screen and built-in high resolution camera. GSM network consists of 2 types of channels to link the mobile phone unit and the base stations. Control Channel carries network information e.g. location area, perform call set up while dialing out and page mobile phone when receive a call. The research used the GSM network cell location to calculate the mobile phone position. Should the GPS signal failed, the cell location with the best signal quality would be selected as reference point to calculate and pinpoint the location of the mobile phone.
