Abstract

From emergency location systems based on mobile networks, such as E911 (Enhanced 911), to the latest concept of applications that are adapted for the end-user and are dynamically delivery based on the user’s location [2], all the Location Based Services (LBS) depend on the correct estimation of the users’ location.
