This paper introduces the first wireless gesture recognition system that operates using existingWi-Fi signals and devices. To achieve this, we first identify limitations of existing wireless gesture recognition approaches that limit their applicability to Wi-Fi. We then introduce algorithms that can classify gestures using information that is readily available on Wi-Fi devices. We demonstrate t...

Fourth generation mobile networks will allow end-users to roam over different network technologies, such as UMTS, CDMA2000 and Wi-Fi. These mobile networks make it possible to determine the location of the mobile terminal, which can be used by applications to provide enhanced services. Each mobile network technology has its specific way to determine the terminal’s location, and to provide this ...

Significant growth in broadband wireless services, as well ever-increasing demand on the spectrum caused by Internet of Things (IoT) have overstretched limited available space for services. Heterogeneous networks (HetNets)—wherein multiple technologies (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LTE, and GSM) coexist share spectrum—are a promising solution enhancing sharing. An essential element developin...

Mobile network traffic is growing rapidly, and service providers must manage their networks efficiently to meet consumer demand. Mobile data offloading is the use of complementary network technologies for delivering data originally targeted for cellular networks. Access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) is the most complete 3GPP approach to date for controlling offloading between...

With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, Internet Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) are becoming essential for many applications. One most emblematic IoT/M2M applications is smart buildings. The current building automation systems (BASs) limited by factors, including lack integration IoT M2M technologies, unfriendly user interfacing, high costs, using no more tha...

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate, how to communicate the vehicle between themselves in a heterogeneous vehicles network, and show on which way is done the exchange of information with the infrastructure, to overcome the shortcomings of using a single wireless technology. DSRC does not offer enough good coverage and range around intersections in urban areas for specific applications. On t...

In this data-overabundant world, revealing and representing comprehensible relationships behind complicated datasets have become important challenges in data mining. This chapter presents recent achievements in applying data mining techniques to two application areas— microarray analysis and anthropology study on Wi-Fi networks—and applies visualization techniques to help integrate heterogeneou...

Hui, Jie. QoS Provisioning in Wi-Fi Networks: Capacity Modeling and Resource Control. (Under the direction of Professor Michael Devetsikiotis). The ubiquitous Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks, and their increasing quality of service (QoS) requirements for emerging applications, motivate extensive studies of QoS provisioning in such networks. Two tasks, namely, capacity modeling and resource c...
