Abstract :
The Skinfakse concept (for service integrated distribution of mobile services) was introduced to discern what additional information regarding the mobile user is deducible through evaluation of parameters related to the radio link. It is shown that Skinfakse allows localization and gathering of statistical data for traffic monitoring as a fringe benefit of the Skinfakse structure. This paper focuses on Groupe Speciale Mobile (GSM) as the cellular infrastructure to form a commonly understood frame of reference, but the solutions are applicable to any digital cellular communication system realized in the Skinfakse structure.
