D11.2: Mobility and LBS
The presented technologies for locating a device or a person differ considerably in the way they work. Accordingly, the degree of accuracy with regard to the quality of the positioning has a certain spectrum. and give a brief overview of the base characteristics. Furthermore, some of the limitations and possibilities to disturb or manipulate positioning technologies are presented (see ).
Technology | Accuracy | Note |
Satellite-based positioning systems: GPS, Galileo | >1m-15m |
|
Cell-based mobile Communication Networks: UMTS (3G), GSM (2G) | 25m – 30km |
|
Other wireless Technologies: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), WiFi, Bluetooth | <1m – 50m |
|
Sensor-based Systems: Optical sensors (infrared-based), biometrics (face recognition) | Close proximity: |
|
Hybrid Systems | N/A |
