Predicting Wi-Fi Availability using Bluetooth and Cellular Signals
نویسنده
چکیده
With the various network interfaces of a mobile device having complementary characteristics in terms of power consumption, throughput and range, efforts are on to combine their positives. We aim to reduce the idle power consumption of Wi-Fi by using a combination of bluetooth and cellular data for localization, learning and prediction. We show that the combination of bluetooth and cellular data offer a good mix of coarse-grained and fine-grained accuracy as well as coverage.

متن کاملWi-Fi (2.4 GHz) affects anti-oxidant capacity, DNA repair genes expression and apoptosis in pregnant mouse placenta
Objective(s): The placenta provides nutrients and oxygen to embryo and removes waste products from embryo’s blood. As far as we know, the effects of exposure to Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) signals on placenta have not been evaluated. Hence, we examined the effect of prenatal exposure to Wi-Fi signals on anti-oxidant capacity, expressions of CDKNA1, and GADD45a as well as apoptosis...
