IEEE 802.16 is a point to multipoint broadband wireless access standard, designed from ground up for fast and reliable mobile networking. Several location-related MAC layer fields specified in the standard indicate that WiMAX networks can be convenient backbones for future positioning systems. Information encapsulated in MAC headers is especially important for single base station positioning systems which require fewer network resources than multiple reference station location systems, but need more location-related input data. In this thesis, an algorithm for positioning mobile stations in a single base station network is presented to investigate location capability of WiMAX systems. The algorithm makes use of fingerprinting to create a training database and seeks to find locations of mobile stations by tracking them according to their signal parameters. Experimental results give an idea about how a single base station positioning system performs in the absence of sufficient location-related data, and suggest that better results can be obtained if MAC headers specified in IEEE 802.16 standard can be accessed.
