A location-based service middleware for 4G LTE environment
Jiung-Yao Huang, Chung-Hsien Tsai, Hao-Fa Chen · 2013
The paper proposes a distributed middleware architecture with Location-Based Service (LBS) features in a 4G LTE telecom environment to effectively facilitate the interaction between location-based data producers and consumers as well as to reduce the required backbone bandwidth by location-based service. The proposed distributed middleware architecture could not only upgrade the original 4G LTE base station with extra value but also allow each base station to become a data dispatcher of the district within its service signal coverage. The proposed system fully utilized the capabilities of Message Orient Middleware(MOM) to provide LBS within 4G LTE environments. A prototype of the proposed system is implemented and is discussed in this paper.
