There are mobile phones applications that can be acquired which will help you find your smart phone through the triangulation transforms inside a couple of meters of its real area. Mobile Tracking provides you the ability to track your smart phone's area utilizing an IP, Wi-Fi, GPS, or GSM system association around the world. All associations made to these systems, even ones utilizing cells as modems, can be recorded alongside excellent web program information.

Find cell phones' area online by cell tower triangulation utilizing LAC (Location Area Code) and Celled from PC, iphone or Androide phone. Cell tower triangulation utilizes the LAC and Cellid to focus the position of a cellular smartphone. With information from no less than three cell towers, this strategy can ascertain a handset's area exactly. Each one base station covers a certain region, the more cell towers in your general vicinity, the more precise result it delivers. So the thickness of cell towers decides the precision. For the most part, the thickness is higher in the urban zones particularly at downtown. While in country territories, where there are less cell towers, the result is less precise."

Many smart phone users reap the benefits of location-based services. While tracking users’ positions using their smart phone is an issue of concern for some, others who use Foursquare or rely on their Android GPS view location-based services as a necessity. Ubiquitous Positioning and Mobile Location-Based Services in Smart Phones explores new research in smart phones with an emphasis on positioning solutions in smart phones, smart phone-based navigation applications, mobile geographical information systems, and related standards.

Being infrastructure-less and without central administration control, wireless ad-hoc networking is playing a more and more important role in extending the coverage of traditional wireless infrastructure (cellular networks, wireless LAN, etc). This book includes state-of the-art techniques and solutions for wireless ad-hoc networks. It focuses on the following topics in ad-hoc networks: vehicular ad-hoc networks, security and caching, TCP in ad-hoc networks and emerging applications. It is targeted to provide network engineers and researchers with design guidelines for large scale wireless ad hoc networks.
