Abstract :
Tracking in WiMax networks is gaining a lot of interest; especially after the mobile WiMax became one of the emerging technologies that promote low-cost deployment and evolving to provide IP-based services of high mobility including providing location-based services (LBS). Therefore, locating users in a cheap way that depend on the available network resources is becoming more and more interesting and an active topic for researchers. In this paper we consider the problem of tracking in WiMAX networks depending on SCORE observations. The provided examples show that with efficient measurement data processing and with the help of already available data (street maps), plausible results can be achieved.
