Improving Mobile Location Prediction Using the Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm

The importance of locating a mobile phone has increased significantly during last decade for security and commercial reasons. Locating the leads to people. This is done by using most common propagation models in network design calculate distance between base station, addition positioning algorithms predict location station. In this work, three telecommunication towers that provide service Zain Iraq were selected, located within Mahmudiya area Baghdad as case study, test drive was conducted measure signal strength received from these stations at more than 10 points coverage stations. Okumura-HATA model, UMTS model used distances. Gray-Wolf algorithm improve position prediction.
