Abstract:
Numerous methods have been applied to
accurately determine the location of a mobile station (MS), of
which, most of them require weather dependent parameters.
An efficient method of positioning and mapping a mobile
station in varying weather conditions, without the use of
Global Positioning System (GPS); operable using the preestablished
infrastructure is proposed. Another advantage of
this system is that, only one base station (BS) is utilized. The
uplink control channel power from a mobile station received
by a base station determines the power to be transmitted to
that user. With the change of weather condition, the power
data also changes. However, the collective power level changes
uniformly; allowing their slopes to remain constant in any case.
Extracting the slope of the plot eludes the system from power
amplitude dependency, henceforth making this system
exclusive to weather change.
