So you page the entire network globally to find the device?
- throwaway7767 11y ago> So you page the entire network globally to find the device? Or locally, and have the device check in when it enters a new geographic area instead of all the time. The accuracy of passive tracking could be decreased considerably if the protocols were designed with that goal in mind. This is one of those cases where perfect is the enemy of good. Just because there will always be the possibility of tracking in wireless networks, does not mean that that we can not work on minimising that leak.
