A Survey of Location Based Service for Galileo System

LBS is an important mobile application that many researches have focused on. But till to now, most of researches are based on GPS system. As a future satellite positioning and navigation system, Galileo system has many advantages over other currently used satellite systems. Even this is well known among the researchers and many related issues have been discussed, little detailed reports on it is opened to the public. A survey of the location based services for Galileo system is presented in this paper. In the survey, the basic concept, key features of Galileo system, the critical performance parameters and typical LBS application scenarios are discussed in detail. It hopes that it will help the researchers better use the satellite system to develop new and advanced LBS.
