About the Talk
We espouse the vision of a smart object/campus architecture where sensors attached to smart objects use BLE as communication interface, and where smartphones act as opportunistic relays to transfer the data. We explore the feasibility of the vision with real-world Wi-Fi based location traces from our university campus. Our feasibility studies establish that redundancy exists in user movement within the indoor spaces, and that this redundancy can be exploited for collecting sensor data in an opportunistic, yet fair manner. We develop a couple of alternative heuristics that address the BLE energy asymmetry challenge by intelligently duty-cycling the scanning actions of individual devices. We evaluate the efficacy and tradeoffs of the proposed approaches by simulation experiments with real-world location traces.
This is a pre-conference talk for the 10th International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS (COMSNETS 2018).
