I need to identify the mobile phones that communicate next to a specific mobile phone consistently. it would show the acquintances of the owner of the specific mobile phone. The specific mobile phone should therefore be able to sense signals from the nearby phones. those phones which signals are always powerful must be next to it always. I need to harvest the received signal of the specific phone. The received signal must have been down-converted and digitized in order to be accessible to a program that i design. The program would detect the identity of the nearby phones and send an SMS to a control centre for analysis. the c123 must enable me do this. > Is my line of interest irrelevant to the OsmocomBB project?

Hi Andreas, Much appreciation. I have to do it as long as it's possible. Thanks. Will update forum on my results progress. Ojenge On 4/19/12, Andreas Eversberg <andreas(a)eversberg.eu> wrote:
