3. INTRODUCTION TO GPS
GPS stands for Global Positioning System. It is a constellation of 24 well-spaced satellites that orbit the earth and make it possible for people with ground receivers to pinpoint their geographic location. the location accuracy is anywhere from 1 to 100 Mt/Km/Mile depending on the type of equipment used.
GPS is an only geostationary satellite based positioning system. GPS is founded by and controlled by the U. S. Department of Defense (DOD). While there are many thousands of civil users of GPS worldwide, the system was designed for and is operated by the U. S. military.

4. GPS receivers enable users to geographically locate their position anywhere on the surface of the earth through the assistance of GPS satellite. Over the past decade, global positioning system (GPS) technology has evolved from a sophisticated and expensive geographic positioning system .

5. GPS is based on 24 satellites and 5 monitoring stations around the world that enable the satellites to broadcast a signal that can be used as a reference in determining the position of user.
Global Positioning System is the only system today able to show you your exact position on the Earth anywhere, in any weather, anytime. GPS satellites, 24 in all, orbit at 11,000 nautical miles above the Earth. Ground stations located worldwide continuously monitor them. The satellites transmit signals that can be detected by anyone with a GPS receiver. Using the receiver, you can determine your location with great precision .

6. OVERVIEW OF GPS There are currently two public GPS systems.
-The NAVSTAR system The GLONASS system
The NAVSTAR system is owned by the United States and is managed by the Department of Defense.
The GLONASS system is owned by the Russian Federation.

7. GPS consist of three parts.
-The space segment
-The user segment
-The control segment
The space segment  It consists of satellites.Each one moves in its own orbit. These space vehicles (SVs) send radio signals from space.
The user segment  It consists of receivers, which you can hold in your hand or place it anywhere else. It consists of the GPS receivers and the usercommunity GPS receivers convert SV signals into position, velocity, and time estimates.

8.  Four satellites are required to compute the four dimensions of X, Y, Z (position) and Time. GPS receivers are used for navigation, positioning, time dissemination, and other research.
The control segment  It consists of ground stations (five of them, located around the world) that make sure the satellites are working properly.

11. MOBILE PHONE POSITIONING
Mobile telephone systems keep track of the users.
The system always knows where you are. Automatic when the phone activates
Information from the mobile operator is sent to a security center.
 Privacy, personal integrity aspects
Several different technologies.
 Depends on the mobile system.

14. Cell ID All cells have an ID which is centrally assigned. 1
All networks have a number in the ITU global numbering plan. 1 6 7 2 5 3 4

17. Problems with mobile phone positioning.
Relies on the mobile telephone infrastructure
 Some operators may not be ready
Low precision
 Depends on cell size, antenna configuration
Battery life and malicious disconnection
 Requires the phone to be on to work

18. Advantages of mobile phone positioning.
Nearly ubiquitous (at least in urban areas)
Works indoors
 To a large extent
No user action required to start positioning
Position history can be registered

19. General problems of persistent positioning.
Giving up privacy
 Even if it is to a trusted party
 How to prevent misuse?
System needs to be 100 % up
 Only telecom companies have this kind of experience
 Nobody can foresee when the system is needed
