Wireless Location Positioning Based on WiMAX Features- A Preliminary Study

Abstract. In this paper, we exploit the potential of positioning technologies in wireless broadband communications, which are based on worldwide interopera-bility for microwave access (WiMAX), in particular the IEEE802.16 * stan-dards. By utilizing the additional features in WiMAX including multiple input multiple output (MIMO), adaptive modulation and coding (AMC), beamform-ing, relay station and power control, we believe that the features can be used for enhancing the location estimation accuracy in location services
