Description
One of the biggest factors in the quest to better wireless communication is cellular
call handoff, which in tum, is a function of geographic location. In this thesis, our
fundamental goal was to demonstrate the value addition brought forth by spatial data
visualization techniques for the analysis of geo-referenced data from two different
location tracking technologies: GPS and cellular systems. Through our efforts, we
unearthed some valuable and surprising insights from the data being analyzed that led to
interesting observations about the data itself as opposed to the entity, or entities, that the
data is supposed to describe. In doing so, we underscored the value addition brought forth
by spatial data visualization techniques even in the incipient stages of analysis of georeferenced
data from cellular networks. We also demonstrated the value of visualization
techniques as a verification tool to verify the results of analysis done through other
methods, such as statistical analysis.
