Blind Localization of Mobile Terminals in Urban Scenarios

Locating mobile terminals in cellular radio networks offers a variety of new applications in everyday live and, moreover, is very valuable in emergency cases. We consider to tackle the localization task with help of a smart antenna at the base station. We propose a blind localization approach in multipath scenarios which needs only further information about the locations of the main scattering objects, e.g. buildings. We use the additional information from a 2-D electronic data base of the environment and combine it with simple ray-tracing elements. 1
