Location Detection in Wireless Networks In our previous talk last week, we discussed several challenges in our
recent project, "Application of Sensor networks for emergency
responses". In this week’s talk, we will focus on one of the
challenges, namely, "Indoor Location Detection using wireless devices
". The talk will be divided into two parts: initially, we will describe
the state of the art in the indoor location detection technologies, for
example, Active Badge, MIT cricket, RADAR, etc. and their inapplicability
in the context of emergency responses. In the second part of the talk, we
will describe two possible approaches that we would like to explore in
near future: use of "Identification code" and "Bayesian
Hypothesis testing". The basic formulation of both approaches
will be described. We may also be able to set up an initial demonstration
of the type of system we would like to build in this project. Any feedback
from the audience will be appreciated. Lab of Networking and Information Systems Room 413 Photonics Building 8 St Mary's Street, Boston MA 02215 Web site created by Sachin Agarwal (ska@bu.edu)
