Abstract

The location-sensing technology is core technology for location based services and applications. In these days Localization for mobile handset devices are gaining huge importance in various fields, they are globally useful, such as navigation, advertisements, safety security and also observation of tracking. This paper presents various techniques for location-sensing method, called a cell Id based location positioning method and its positioning accuracy estimation. In addition this paper proposed Geolocation technique which is used to track a specific user without permissions. This includes tracking, reading call history, past location history, reading SMS. To evaluate proposed system this paper implemented location-sensing technique on Android-based phones. There are different ways how information about the location of a mobile device is generated. This paper explains the state of art technology of WiFi and Cell Id based positioning and describes some of its applications. By knowing how location data is collected and processed the reader understands how location-based solutions work. Some examples are given at the end of the paper.
