Wireless networks bring mobility to users by allowing them to change location without disrupting connectivity. On one hand, this opens space for a wide variety of location-aware services. On the other hand, it also poses a concern to users as to what extent their location can, or should, be identified in different scenarios.The main focus of the research is to address the proper identification of mobile device locations in wireless networks. There are two sides of the problem: the accurate determination of a mobile device's location in applications such as E911 services, and the effective protection of location information against adversaries which intend to intrude mobile device users' privacy. This project takes a systematic view of both sides of the problem, explores a solution space that spans both ends of wireless communication, and delivers solutions for various application scenarios. The sticking point is to determine the minimum location information necessary for the intended network service by understanding, analyzing, structuring, and controlling the complex interactions among different entities in the system including end-devices, base stations, and (potential) adversaries across application, network, and physical layers. Both control plane and data plane are considered.The intellectual merit of this project is to form a scientific foundation for proper location identification.

无线网络通过允许用户更改位置而不会破坏连接性，从而为用户带来了移动性。一方面，这为各种位置感知服务打开了空间。另一方面，这也引起了用户的关注，即他们的位置在不同方案中可以或应该在多大程度上确定。研究的主要重点是解决无线网络中移动设备位置的正确识别。问题的两个方面：准确确定移动设备在E911服务等应用程序中的位置，以及有效保护位置信息，以防止打算侵犯移动设备用户隐私的对手。该项目对问题的两面进行了系统的了解，探索了一个跨越无线通信的解决方案空间，并为各种应用程序方案提供解决方案。粘性点是通过理解，分析，结构和控制系统中不同实体之间的复杂相互作用（包括终端设备，基站和（潜在的）对手，跨应用程序，网络和物理层（物理层），确定预期网络服务所需的最小位置信息。考虑了控制平面和数据平面。该项目的智力优点是为适当的位置识别构成科学基础。
