U-TDOA – Uplink Time Difference of Arrival A high-yield, high-performance location technology, TruePosition's Uplink Time Difference of Arrival (U-TDOA), relies upon multilateration, using cell towers, which makes U-TDOA especially well suited for indoor and urban environments. Because it is completely network based (calculating location based on a normal cellular signal) no additional chip or software needs to be installed into the handset, which means U-TDOA can locate every mobile phone anywhere. U-TDOA determines a mobile phone's location by comparing the times at which a cell signal reaches multiple Location Measurement Units (LMUs) installed at the operator's base stations. Accuracy is determined by the network layout and deployment density of LMUs to Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs). U-TDOA technology works very well in urban, suburban, and indoor environments — suffering only in extreme rural conditions where the cell sites are arranged in a "string of pearls" configuration. In such scenarios, TruePosition can supplement its U-TDOA technology with Angle of Arrival (AOA) technology, which computes locations based on the angle at which signal reached two base stations. TDOA should not be confused with Time of Arrival or TOA. Even though a TDOA call flow would look virtually the same as a TOA call flow, there is a difference in how the location is calculated. TDOA and TOA are similar, but there is a difference. TOA differs in the fact that it uses the absolute time of arrival at a certain base station rather than the difference between two stations. The distance can be directly calculated from the time of arrival because signals travel with a known velocity. Time of arrival data from two base stations will narrow a position to two points and data from a third base station is required to resolve the precise position. U-TDOA Highlights Extremely valuable for "mission critical" applications where every phone must be able to be located, in every environment, such as safety and security ( E112, E9-1-1 , personal emergency location , asset tracking , mobile surveillance , and more) Location available for start-of-call, mid-call, or when idle Locates both voice and SMS messaging Completely network-based; no additional chip or software needs to be installed into the handset, meaning it can locate all mobile phones Calculating the line-of-sight path from the transmitter to receiver, AOA (Angle of Arrival) provides location services in areas of sparse cell site density, or where cell sites are arranged linearly, for example, along a stretch of highway. AOA "At-A-Glance" AOA (Angle of Arrival) uses multiple receivers (2 or more) to locate a phone AOA yield is 99% Accuracy varies, but can get sub-100 meters Speed and direction of travel is available AOA (Angle of Arrival) functions for any phone The Angle of Arrival (AOA) method uses an antenna containing a multiple element array in which the exact location of each AOA (Angle of Arrival) element is known precisely. Each element is small and capable of receiving a separate signal. By measuring signal strength, time of arrival, and phase at each element of the array, it is possible to calculate the line-of-sight path from transmitter to receiver. Placing another receiver with the same antenna configuration in a different location allows you to repeat the process. The intersection point of the two line-of-sight paths represents the location of the transmitting mobile phone. Such conditions arise typically in areas of sparse cell site density, or where cell sites are arranged linearly, for example, along a stretch of highway. In such cases one or two sectors (of a sectored antenna) will need AOA (Angle of Arrival) enhancement. Like U-TDOA, AOA (Angle of Arrival) requires specialized receivers at the base stations in addition to the construction of directional antenna arrays on the existing cell tower. (trueposition.com)

Assisted GPS is faster than GPS but it comes with costs First the phone must be enabled The information is send via the network – data traffic Gets easily expensive when roaming and new position every minute as a first fix Do not mess with the A-GPS server setting Assisted GPS , generally abbreviated as A-GPS or aGPS , is a system which can, under certain conditions, improve the startup performance, or time-to-first-fix (TTFF) of a GPS satellite-based positioning system. It is used extensively with GPS-capable cellular phones as its development was accelerated by the U.S. FCC 's 911 mandate making the location of a cell phone available to emergency call dispatchers. [1] Contents [ hide ] 1 Description 2 Basic concepts 3 Modes of operation 4 Standards 5 See also 6 References [ edit ] Description "Standalone" or "Autonomous" GPS operation uses radio signals from satellites alone. A-GPS additionally uses network resources to locate and use the satellites in poor signal conditions. In very poor signal conditions, for example in a city, these signals may suffer multipath propagation where signals bounce off buildings, or be weakened by passing through atmospheric conditions, walls or tree cover. When first turned on in these conditions, some standalone GPS navigation devices may not be able to work out a position due to the fragmentary signal, rendering them unable to function until a clear signal can be received continuously for up to 12.5 minutes (the time needed to download the GPS almanac and ephemeris ). [2] An Assisted GPS system can address these problems by using data available from a network. For billing purposes, network providers often count this as a data access, which can cost money depending on the plan. [3] Assistance falls into two categories: Information used to more quickly acquire satellites It can supply orbital data or almanac for the GPS satellites to the GPS receiver, enabling the GPS receiver to lock to the satellites more rapidly in some cases. The network can provide precise time. Calculation of position by the server using information from the GPS receiver The device captures a snapshot of the GPS signal, with approximate time, for the server to later process into a position. The assistance server has a good satellite signal, and plentiful computation power, so it can compare fragmentary signals relayed to it Accurate, surveyed coordinates for the cell site towers allow better knowledge of local ionospheric conditions and other conditions affecting the GPS signal than the GPS receiver alone, enabling more precise calculation of position. (See also Wide Area Augmentation System ) As an additional benefit, in some A-GPS device implementations, known as "MS-Assisted," the amount of CPU and programming required for a GPS receiver is reduced by offloading most of the work onto the assistance server. A typical A-GPS-enabled receiver will use a data connection (Internet or other) to contact the assistance server for aGPS information. If it also has functioning autonomous GPS, it may use standalone GPS, which is sometimes slower on time to first fix , but does not depend on the network, and therefore can work beyond network range, and without incurring data usage fees. [3] Some aGPS devices do not have the option of falling back to standalone or autonomous GPS. Many mobile phones combine A-GPS and other location services including Wi-Fi Positioning System and cell-site triangulation and sometimes a hybrid positioning system . [4] High Sensitivity GPS is an allied technology that addresses some of these issues in a way that does not require additional infrastructure. However, unlike some forms of A-GPS, high-sensitivity GPS cannot provide a fix instantaneously when the GPS receiver has been off for some time. [ citation needed ] [ edit ] Basic concepts Standalone GPS provides first position in approximately 30-40 seconds. A Standalone GPS system needs orbital information of the satellites to calculate the current position. The data rate of the satellite signal is only 50 b/s, so downloading orbital information like ephemeris and almanac directly from satellites typically takes a long time, and if the satellite signals are lost during the acquisition of this information, it is discarded and the standalone system has to start from scratch. In AGPS, the Network Operator deploys an AGPS server . These AGPS servers download the orbital information from the satellite and store it in the database. An AGPS capable device can connect to these servers and download this information using Mobile Network radio bearers such as GSM , CDMA , WCDMA , LTE or even using other wireless radio bearers such as Wi-Fi . Usually the data rate of these bearers is high, hence downloading orbital information takes less time. [ edit ] Modes of operation AGPS has two modes of operation: Mobile Station Assisted (MSA) - In MSA mode A-GPS operation, the A-GPS capable device receives acquisition assistance, reference time and other optional assistance data from the A-GPS server. With the help of the above data, the A-GPS device receives signals from the visible satellites and sends the measurements to the A-GPS server. The A-GPS server calculates the position and sends it back to the A-GPS device. Mobile Station Based (MSB) - In MSB mode A-GPS operation, the A-GPS device receives ephemeris, reference location, reference time and other optional assistance data from the A-GPS server. With the help of the above data, the A-GPS device receives signals from the visible satellites and calculates the position. [ edit ] Standards AGPS protocols are part of Positioning Protocol defined by two different standardization body, 3gpp and Open Mobile Alliance(OMA) . Control Plane Protocol - It is defined by 3gpp for various generations of mobile phone system. These protocols are defined for Circuit Switched Networks. Following positioning protocol has been defined. RRLP - 3gpp defined RRLP or Radio resource location protocol to support positioning protocol on GSM networks. TIA 801 - CDMA2000 family defined this protocol for CDMA 2000 networks. RRC position protocol - 3gpp defined this protocol as part of the RRC standard for UMTS network. LPP - 3gpp defined LPP or LTE positioning protocol for LTE Networks. User Plane Protocol - It is defined by OMA to support positioning protocols in Packet Switched Networks. Two generations of User plane Protocol have evolved. SUPL V1.0 SUPL V2.0
