Abstract:
This paper proposes a new method of the wireless cellular location based on the time difference of arrival and the direction of arrival in the uplink of WCDMA system. The traditional method based on the hyperbola and the circle needs at least three base stations to get the location of the mobile station, but the new method gets the location of the mobile station by only two base stations, which reduces the complexion of the system. The new method is more accurate than the traditional method that only bases on the time difference of arrival. In addition, the performance of the proposed wireless cellular locating method is evaluated through simulations.
