Research paper thumbnail of Dynamic Management of Real-Time Location Data on GPS-Enabled Mobile Phones

International Conference on Mobile Ubiquitous Computing, Systems, Services and Technologies, 2008

Advanced location based services have the ability to track users with Global Positioning System (... more Advanced location based services have the ability to track users with Global Positioning System (GPS)-enabled cell phones in real-time. These applications share a common problem; the continuous calculation and transmission of GPS fixes from the mobile phone to a server consumes a considerable amount of energy and increases data transmission costs. Therefore, an application-level algorithm is necessary to reduce the number of GPS fixes calculated and transmitted, while continuing to track the user in real-time and record an accurate representation of his or her travel path. In this paper, two complementary algorithms are presented: the critical point (CP) algorithm, which filters data points to be transmitted to the server, and the location-aware state machine, which dynamically manages the frequency of the location re-calculation update rate. Both algorithms were implemented in TRAC-IT, a Java Micro Edition (Java ME) application designed to automatically collect user travel behavior; the proposed algorithms allow TRAC-IT to build an accurate representation of the user's path with a considerably reduced number of fixes while significantly extending mobile device battery life.

In order to solve the model, a hybrid evolutionary algorithm with two local searches is proposed an implemented. As the algorithm returns a set of efficient solutions, the tradeoff among placements in their number of relays with their energy dissipation is explored. The evaluation shows that the energy can be diminished ...
