Location Based Service (LBS) is one of the most popular types of applications in mobile networks. As the name suggests, the success of an LBS application depends on two pipelined procedures: localization and information transmission. In other words, an LBS application cannot start until all the mobile users have obtained their positions. The localization time of current methods is too long to support time-critical applications based on mobile networks, where users continually change their positions. This project envisions a radically new alternative to the intuitive pipelined procedures approach, where the LBS application can start before all the users? positions become available.The intellectual merit lies in the concept of mobile essential localization, which is expected to significantly reduce both (i) localization time and (ii) energy consumption, while enhancing the location privacy and guaranteeing the success of LBS applications. The proposal entails high-risk as it is applied to real-time environments, which are highly unpredictable and dynamic. If successful, this novel paradigm could motivate scientific investigations aimed at a plethora of time-critical mobile network applications. One can expect high-reward in terms of applicability to areas of strategic interest including social and vehicular networks, and performance enhancements of such applications.The broader impact of this project is reflected in several aspects: (i) The outcomes of this NSF project will have societal impact on facilitating the spread of mobile network usage; (ii) The new approaches may be adopted by US-based industry in their future designs and protocols for enhancing the location based service availability and its integrity; (iii) This EAGER projects investigates the time critical localization challenge from an interdisciplinary perspective combining Computer Science, Theoretical Computing, Electronic Engineering, and Communications; (iv) The resulting software codes will be disseminated to the public under open source license; and (v) New interdisciplinary graduate curriculum will be offered to students in MA/OH including minorities and underrepresented groups. Demos will be offered to Toledo Public School students.

基于位置的服务（LB）是移动网络中最受欢迎的应用程序之一。顾名思义，LBS应用程序的成功取决于两个管道的程序：本地化和信息传输。换句话说，在所有移动用户获得职位之前，LBS应用程序才能启动。当前方法的本地化时间太长，无法基于移动网络的时间关键应用程序，在该应用程序中，用户不断更改其位置。该项目设想了直觉管道过程方法的一种彻底的新替代方法，LBS应用程序可以在所有用户之前开始？智力优点在于移动基本本地化的概念，这将显着减少（i）（i）本地化时间和（ii）能源消耗，同时增强了位置隐私并确保LBS应用程序的成功。该提案需要高风险，因为它适用于实时环境，而实时环境非常不可预测和动态。如果成功的话，这种新颖的范式可以激励针对大量关键时期移动网络应用程序的科学研究。人们可以在适用于战略兴趣领域（包括社交和车辆网络）以及此类应用程序的绩效提高的战略兴趣领域的高度期望。该项目的更广泛影响反映在几个方面：（i）该NSF项目的结果将对促进移动网络使用率的促进促进社会影响； （ii）新方法可以被基于美国的行业在其未来的设计和协议中采用，以增强基于位置的服务可用性及其完整性； （iii）这个急切的项目从跨学科的角度研究了计算机科学，理论计算，电子工程和通信的时间关键定位挑战； （iv）由此产生的软件代码将根据开源许可将其传播给公众； （v）新的跨学科研究生课程将为MA/OH的学生提供，包括少数民族和代表性不足的团体。将向托莱多公立学校的学生提供演示。
