Cooperative mobile positioning is raising up as a promising new branch of wireless location, in which several research directions are being explored. In this chapter, we apply the cooperative mobile positioning framework as an innovative solution for positioning determination in 4G wireless networks by introducing the Ad-Coop Positioning System (ACPS). The ACPS is supported by a hybrid cellular ad-hoc architecture, where the cellular network has a centralized control over the adhoc connections among pairs of mobiles. Specifically, peer-to-peer communications are exploited in a mesh fashion within cellular-established clusters for cooperationaided localization purposes (from that, the word ad-coop is derived). The numerical results exposed in the chapter will show that thanks to the spatial proximity and spatial diversity within a group of cooperative mobiles, our proposal has the potential to enhance the location estimation accuracy with respect to conventional hybrid positioning techniques in stand-alone cellular networks.
