چکیده

Urban environments are notorious for high levels of noise and interference, particularly in their unlicensed radio bands. The interference patterns visible on a given channel depend on the particular devices competing for the spectrum. Meanwhile, the modern transceivers incorporated into wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes have the ability to measure the background noise/interference and change channels. This combination of capabilities suggests the need to better understand the noise and interference encountered in urban environments so that devices can make better decisions to avoid it. In this paper, we explore the noise and interference patterns found on 256 frequencies in an urban environment’s 900 MHz ISM and non-ISM bands. We begin the process by using off-theshelf WSN hardware to sample the environment at 5 kHz from 16 locations simultaneously. From these samples, we identify five prevalent patterns and then hand-classify the 4096 traces of noise and interference. Finally, we extract a variety of statistics from the traces and use them in a Bayesian network classifier.

D-Log: A WiFi Log-based differential scheme for enhanced indoor localization with single RSSI source and infrequent sampling rate

Currently, large amounts of Wi-Fi access logs are collected in diverse indoor environments, but cannot be widely used for fine-grained spatio-temporal analysis due to coarse positioning. We present a Log-based Differential (D-Log) scheme for post-hoc localization based on differentiated location estimates obtained from large-scale Access Point (AP) logs of WiFi connectivity traces, which can be...

Density in Relation to Patterns of Built-forms (Case Study: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia)

Density is a critical typology in determining sustainable urban built-form patterns. Built-formrefers to the assemblage and arrangement of the building masses in a city reflecting the spatial layout of spaces.The relationship between density and urban character is also based on at certain densities (thresholds). In a widersense, sustainable cities are a matter of density. Recent debates about t...

DyVSoR: dynamic malware detection based on extracting patterns from value sets of registers

To control the exponential growth of malware files, security analysts pursue dynamic approaches that automatically identify and analyze malicious software samples. Obfuscation and polymorphism employed by malwares make it difficult for signature-based systems to detect sophisticated malware files. The dynamic analysis or run-time behavior provides a better technique to identify the threat. In t...
