Abstract

Recent years have witnessed unprecedented amounts of telecommunication (Telco) data generated by Telco radio and core equipment. For example, measurement records (MRs) are generated to report the connection states, e.g., received signal strength at the mobile device, when mobile devices give phone calls or access data services. Telco historical data (e.g., MRs) have been widely analyzed to understand human mobility and optimize the applications such as urban planning and traffic forecasting. The key of these applications is to precisely localize outdoor mobile devices from these historical MR data. Previous works calculate the location of a mobile device based on each single MR sample, ignoring the sequential and temporal locality hidden in the consecutive MR samples. To address the issue, we propose a deep neural network (DNN)-based localization framework namely DeepLoc to ensemble a recently popular sequence learning model LSTM and a CNN. Without skillful feature design and post-processing steps, DeepLoc can generate a smooth trajectory consisting of accurately predicted locations. Extensive evaluation on 6 datasets collected at three representative areas (core business, urban and suburban areas in Shanghai, China) indicates that DeepLoc greatly outperforms 10 counterparts.
