To improve cellular phone position estimation using nonlinear set-theoretic techniques based on measurements from the GSM standard.
Applied nonlinear set-theoretic estimation using pseudo ellipsoids.
Transformed measurement uncertainty regions into a higher-dimensional hyperspace.
Calculated set intersections of pseudo ellipsoids recursively with a linear filter.
Estimated position by finding the center of gravity of the resulting uncertainty region.
Achieved a significant accuracy improvement over traditional Cell ID methods.
Reduced mean error by half compared to previous estimation techniques.

Horn et al. (2003) studied this question.
