Overview
- Target: 3 MQPs
- MQP 1: Wireless LAN characterization
- MQP 2: Design and develop a location-aware application
- MQP 3: Streaming MPEG to mobile devices
MQP 1: WPI Wireless LAN Characterization
- Measurement study to determine:
- User movement patterns
- Hotspots: where and when do people go?
- Roaming: associations-disassociations from Access Points
- Applications: What applications are they running?
- Persistence: how often do people return to given locations
- Network analysis: packet sizes and interarrivals
MQP 2: Design and Develop Location-Aware Application
- Location-aware application
- Previous MQP developed tool to find user location on 802.11 WLAN [ click here ]
- This MQP: use this tool to develop location-aware application
- Examples:
- Identify and print to closest printer
- Display WPI tour information to user based on his/her location while walking
- Enhance messenger application to find location of your friends
- Security: visually track people who borrow ATC laptops
MQP 3: Mobile MPEG Animation
- MPEG can now encode animations
- Can use/write tools to encode MPEG application
- Examples: vary resolution, color, etc.
- Stream to mobile users (laptops, PDA) based on their capabilities
- Status: 1 student has already signed up
