Abstract
Mobile network operators offer location-based services for their customers as well as for third party customers that support such applications. The high density of mobile users in urban and indoor environments drive the need for such location-based services, especially in areas that are GPS-denied. Providing location services for mobile devices, such as position tracking, is an important objective for cellular network operators. Example applications for which location information is critical include:
