Abstract

One of the most important applications for mobile commerceis location-based application and the core technologyof location-based applications is the location determinationtechnology. In this paper, we present a positioningmethod, called as cell-based positioning method and its positioningaccuracy measure for the wireless networks withhexagon structure and mesh structure. In addition, the positioningaccuracy is optimized by tuning the base stations'transmission power. In the optimal transmission power, anaccuracy of within 9.1% (7.2%) cell area for hexagonalstructure (mesh structure) can be achieved by cell-basedpositioning method. We believe that the results are useful todeploy wireless networks for location-based applications.
