Fine Time Aiding and Pseudo-Synchronisation of GSM Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
The integration of CDMA and GPS within a single mobile terminal, in support of the FCC E911 initiative, has greatly benefited from the GPS-based synchronisation of the CDMA network. Similar synchronisation is not available in GSM and W-CDMA networks which are, by design, asynchronous in operation, and this makes GPS integration into GSM and W-CDMA mobile terminals more complex and costly. Duffett-Smith & Tarlow [1] have described a new technology for pseudosynchronising a GSM system which can provide a time reference to an embedded GPS receiver with an accuracy

A TESLA-based mutual authentication protocol for GSM networks
The widespread use of wireless cellular networks has made security an ever increasing concern. GSM is the most popular wireless cellular standard, but security is an issue. The most critical weakness in the GSM protocol is the use of one-way entity authentication, i.e., only the mobile station is authenticated by the network. This creates many security problems including vulnerability against m...
متن کاملTDOA-Based Localization System with Narrow-band Signals
This paper gives a general overview of the challenges that arise in using narrow-band signals, such as GSM, for localisation based on the time properties of the signal. Specifically, synchronisation and retrieving of time information are addressed. We pursue two contributions, namely, analysis of achievable synchronisation precision and processing of narrowband signals that can enable localizat...
متن کاملComparison of robustness of time synchronisation in sensor networks
In sensor networks, time synchronisation between sensor nodes is important because it affects not only the efficiency of information gathering but also the energy consumption. Since network sizes and sensor network environments change at varying rates, different time synchronisation strategies are required for different networks. The pulse-coupled oscillator model is selforganised synchronisati...
متن کاملTime and Frequency Synchronisation in 4G OFDM Systems
This paper presents a complete synchronisation scheme of a baseband OFDM receiver for the currently designed 4G mobile communication system. Since the OFDM transmission is vulnerable to time and frequency offsets, accurate estimation of these parameters is one of the most important tasks of the OFDM receiver. In this paper, the design of a single OFDM synchronisation pilot symbol is introduced....
متن کاملElapsed time on arrival: a simple and versatile primitive for canonical time synchronisation services
Time synchronisation is one of the most important and fundamental middleware services for wireless sensor networks. However, there is an apparent disconnect between existing time synchronisation implementations and the actual needs of current typical sensor network applications. To address this problem, we formulate a set of canonical time synchronisation services distilled from actual applicat...
