A Tractable Metric for Evaluating Base Station Geometries in Cellular Network Localization

In this letter, we present a new metric for characterizing the geometric conditions encountered in cellular positioning based on the angular spread of the base stations (BSs). The metric is shown to be closely related to the geometric-dilution-of-precision (GDOP), yet has the benefit of being characterizable in terms of the network parameters for BS layouts modeled according to a Poisson point process (PPP). As an additional benefit, the metric is shown to immediately yield a device's probability of being inside or outside the convex hull of the BSs, which localization researchers will widely-recognize as being a strong indicator of localization performance.
