LITERATURE SURVEY
Mobile Location System
Mobile location system is a newly developed system that takes the help of the GIS to
locate the position of the mobile, in both the conditions of moving and stationary.
Localization
The concept of localizaiton of the mobile is usually done in two methods.
Global Positioning System
GPS is a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), which was developed by the
Department of Defence in the US and later got fully functional, all around the globe. The system
makes use of the constellation of medium Earth Orbit satellites of 24 and 32 and transmits
precise signals of microwave[1]. The system enables the receivers of GPS for determination of
the current velocity, time and current location. The position is calculated by the GPS receiver, by
timing signals, precisely, sent by the satellites of the GPS, much above the surface of the earth
[4].
