RADAR: an in-building RF-based user location and tracking system
8,355 Citations2002Paramvir Bahl, Venkat Padmanabhan
RADAR is presented, a radio-frequency (RF)-based system for locating and tracking users inside buildings that combines empirical measurements with signal propagation modeling to determine user location and thereby enable location-aware services and applications.
Sensing meets mobile social networks
1,036 Citations2008Emiliano Miluzzo, Nicholas D. Lane +7 more
The CenceMe application is presented, which represents the first system that combines the inference of the presence of individuals using off-the-shelf, sensor-enabled mobile phones with sharing of this information through social networking applications such as Facebook and MySpace.
Lecture notes in computer sciencePlace Lab: Device Positioning Using Radio Beacons in the Wild
982 Citations2005Anthony LaMarca, Yatin Chawathe +12 more
Experimental results are presented showing that 802.11 and GSM beacons are sufficiently pervasive in the greater Seattle area to achieve 20-30 meter median accuracy with nearly 100% coverage measured by availability in people's daily lives.
SurroundSense
728 Citations2009Martin Azizyan, Ionut Constandache +1 more
It is argued that the increasing number of sensors on mobile phones presents new opportunities for logical localization, and proposed SurroundSense, a mobile phone based system that explores logical localization via ambience fingerprinting, can achieve an average accuracy of 87% when all sensing modalities are employed.
Pedestrian localisation for indoor environments
488 Citations2008Oliver Woodman, Robert Harle
This paper looks at how a foot-mounted inertial unit, a detailed building model, and a particle filter can be combined to provide absolute positioning, despite the presence of drift in the inertial units and without knowledge of the user's initial location.
A framework of energy efficient mobile sensing for automatic user state recognition
435 Citations2009Yi Wang, Jialiu Lin +5 more
A novel design framework for an Energy Efficient Mobile Sensing System (EEMSS) that automatically recognizes a set of users' daily activities in real time using sensors on an off-the-shelf high-end smart phone and significantly improves device battery life.
Towards Mobile Phone Localization without War-Driving
308 Citations2010Ionut Constandache, Romit Roy Choudhury +1 more
This paper identifies the possibility of using electronic compasses and accelerometers in mobile phones, as a simple and scalable method of localization without war-driving, to enable greater coverage, while eliminating the reliance on WiFi infrastructure and expensive war- driving.
Discovering semantically meaningful places from pervasive RF-beacons
120 Citations2009Donnie H. Kim, Jeffrey Hightower +2 more
PlaceSense is presented, a place discovery algorithm suitable for mobile devices that exploits pervasive RF-beacons and is more robust than the state-of-the-art in detecting short visits, places where people are mobile, or where inconsistent beacons are prevalent due to interference.
A step counter service for Java-enabled devices using a built-in accelerometer
113 Citations2009Martin Mladenov, Michael Möck
This paper presents an accelerometer-based step counter middleware for J2ME-enabled smartphones to simplify the development of activity aware applications, creating an abstraction layer between the client and the signal processing algorithms and raw sensor access.
iLoc
24 Citations2009Yiming Ma, Rich Hankins +1 more
The proposed iLoc (Incremental (Location-State Acquisition and Prediction) framework solves the prediction problem by utilizing the sensor information provided by a user's mobile device, and incrementally learns the location states by constantly monitoring the signal environment of the mobile device.
