Abstract

In a high-capacity mobile telephone system using cellular technology, a mobile location technique which determines the radio zone in which a moving vehicle exists is one of the most important techniques for the system control. A mobile location technique using a signal strength measurement scheme is described. The probability that a mobile is judged to exist in a certain zone (zone selection rate) is first defined. Dependency of this rate on land mobile propagation characteristics is then discussed in detail. A field test for the justification of this location technique was carried out in the Tokyo metropolitan area in which the field test results agreed well with the estimated values.
