Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS, WiPS or WFPS) is a geolocation system that uses the characteristics of nearby Wi‑Fi access points to discover where a device is located. [1]It is used where satellite navigation such as GPS is inadequate due to various causes including multipath and signal blockage indoors, or where acquiring a satellite fix would take too long. [2]
Wi-Fi positioning system through the examination of neighborhood Wi-Fi BSSID. E.g. Mozilla Location Service. Examination of neighborhood Bluetooth devices. Pairing a user's IP address with the GPS location of a device that's using such an IP address. Data contributed by Internet service providers.
This is a list of countries by Internet connection speed for average and median data transfer rates for Internet access by end-users. The difference between average and median speeds is the way individual measurements are aggregated.
The ITU-T Recommendation E.212 defines mobile country codes (MCC) as well as mobile network codes (MNC). The mobile country code consists of three decimal digits and the mobile network code consists of two or three decimal digits (for example: MNC of 001 is not the same as MNC of 01). The first digit of the mobile country code identifies the ...
Wi-Fi is considered to be a non-3GPP WLAN radio access network (RAN). [18] 3GPP has also specified an alternative loosely coupled solution for Wi-Fi. The approach is called Interworking Wireless LAN (IWLAN) [19] architecture and it is a solution to transfer IP data between a mobile device and operator's core network through a Wi-Fi access. In ...
Mobile positioning data (MPD) is a form of big data which results from the high data volumes of mobile positioning – tracking the location of mobile phones. [ 1 ] Mobile positioning data can be used for generating population and tourism statistics , for measuring human mobility, creating data-driven solutions in urban planning , establishing ...
Wi-Fi (/ ˈ w aɪ f aɪ /) [1] [a] is a family of wireless network protocols based on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards, which are commonly used for local area networking of devices and Internet access, allowing nearby digital devices to exchange data by radio waves.
The first 3 digits represent the mobile country code (MCC), which is followed by the mobile network code (MNC), either 2-digit (European standard) or 3-digit (North American standard). The length of the MNC depends on the value of the MCC, and it is recommended that the length is uniform within a MCC area. [ 2 ]
