Techniques for mobile network geolocation

摘要

Techniques for mobile network geolocation are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for mobile network geolocation. The system may comprise one or more processors communicatively coupled to a mobile communications network. The one or more processors may be configured to determine that a mobile device is on a travel path. The one or more processors may also be configured to determine one or more candidate locations of the mobile device based on data associated with the travel path. The one or more processors may further be configured to determine at least one candidate route associated with the mobile device along the travel path comprised from one or more candidate locations.

1. A method, comprising:
determining, by a device, that a mobile device undergoes multiple cell transitions; determining, by the device and for each cell transition of the multiple cell transitions, at least one candidate location of the mobile device based on mobile communications data associated with at least two cells; obtaining, by the device, geographic map data indicating at least one travel path; determining, by the device, at least one candidate route, associated with the mobile device, along the at least one travel path based on the at least one candidate location and the geographic map data,
the at least one candidate route being determined based on at least one candidate location for each cell transition connected by the at least one travel path; selecting, by the device, a candidate route from among the at least one candidate route based on:
applying a double Dijkstra style approach, anda weighting factor for each candidate location, of the at least one candidate location, based on a distance of a respective candidate location from a nearest travel path, of the at least one travel path, to the respective candidate location; and determining, by the device, a location of the mobile device based on the candidate route selected and a timestamp associated with the mobile device.
