Abstract

In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted rules requiring wireless service providers to supply two-dimensional location information of mobile users who request the E-911 emergency service. Therefore, wireless providers will need to use an effective and accurate position location technology using the existing cellular infrastructure. We analyze the two-dimensional position estimation problem as a parameter detection approach using three radio frequency location techniques within the existing cellular infrastructure
