Balancing the Accuracy and Practicality of Location Tracking in Heterogeneous Mobile Networks
Overview Location tracking has several applications in mobile (cellular or ad hoc) networks, such as location-based routing algorithms and consumer services. It is often difficult to precisely compute the location of a node because of the infrastructure costs and the errors inherent in most tracking techniques. Furthermore, this accuracy differs amongst the nodes based on the scattered availability of equipment such as GPS. This paper focuses on heterogeneous mobile networks, wherein some nodes know their locations more precisely than others and there is a short-range peer-to-peer communication channel such as Bluetooth, 802.11. The authors consider a generalized notion of location called vicinity which is the set of potential locations for a node.
