Algorithm for Finding the Mobile Phone in a Cellular Network

Summary A cellular network is a wireless network made up of a number of cells. Each cell is served by a fixed transmitter known as a Base Station(BS). These cells are used to cover different areas in order to provide more coverage area in the network. This paper proposes an algorithm, which deals with finding a mobile phone within a cell based on the cell-id, signal strength and hellopacket delay. The proposed model is simulated and tested under various conditions and it has shown excellent results while finding mobile phone in the network.
