Abstract

The techniques used in GSM networks for mobile station localization typically use several methods with different level of granularity, based on the base network parameters such as Cell Identification, Timing Advance, the position of Base Transceiver Station, the parameters of Base Transceiver Station antenna etc. This article introduces several others parameters that can be used for network description. This extension can be useful with visualization of localization outputs in cellular network.
