B-SIPS implementation correlates device power consumption with IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi and 802.15.1 Bluetooth communication activity. This battery exhaustion, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth attack detection capability is scalable and complementary with existing commercial and open system network IDSs.

Each 802.11 frame transmitted from 802.11 equipped devices contains information on signal strength and noise. By measuring the signal strength information included in frames sent from a fixed node to a mobile node, it is possible to approximate the distance between the fixed and mobile node. However, as many research papers pointed out, positioning based on received signal strength is difficult, since 802.11 is very susceptible to the effects of various factors, such as reflection or attenuation of the signals. In this paper, we take into account these behavioral characteristics of 802.11 and propose a different approach, where instead of trying to estimate the exact location of a mobile node, we only try to detect incoming movement or access within a given proximity range. Since most recent mobile devices available in the market incorporate or have the capability to add-on 802.11 technologies, mobile users can utilize motion sensing applications without relying on other technologies such as RF-tags or infrared.","PeriodicalId":426585,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Portable Information Devices","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128851761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The UPnP eventing protocol on top of HTTP over TCP performs in a unicast manner, however, suffering from scalability problem and performance degradation against highly frequent event notifications. This paper devises an efficient event multicast mechanism to mitigate above circumstances. The proposed mechanism can group service subscribers of the same access interest and synchronously inform all subscribers in a group of event notifications through a specific administratively scoped multicast delivery. Its design is compliable with GENA specification and so is able to coexist with the original UPnP eventing method. The experimental prototype shows that this mechanism is lightweight and does not complicate the UPnP system design.","PeriodicalId":426585,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Portable Information Devices","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126753177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An increasingly popular use of Wi-Fi networking equipment is to provide wireless 'hotspots' as the wireless access points (APs) to the Internet. These APs are installed and managed by individuals and businesses in an unregulated manner -allowing anyone to install and operate one of these devices using unlicensed radio spectrum. This has allowed literally millions of these APs to become available and 'visible' to any interested party who happens to be within range of the radio waves emitted from the device. As the density of these APs increases, these 'beacons' can be put into multiple uses. From home networking to wireless positioning to mesh networks, there are more alternative ways for connecting wirelessly as newer, longer-range technologies come to market. This paper reports an initial study that examines a database of over 5 million wireless access points collected through systematic wardriving by Skyhook Wireless. By performing the analytical study of this data including the default naming behavior, movement of access points over time, and density of access points, we found that the AP data, coupled with location information, can provide a fertile ground for understanding the \"what, where and why\" of Wi-Fi access points. More importantly, the analysis and mining of this vast and growing collection of AP data can yield important technological, social and economical results.","PeriodicalId":426585,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Portable Information Devices","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122032744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Programming description languages and CAD tools for asynchronous design are still maturing, and there are different languages like CSP, Tangram, OCCAM, Verilog+, etc., which are difficult to port to different asynchronous target architectures. The on-going research on multi-radio realization on asynchronous microprocessors (that do not run an operating system) focuses on a custom-instruction based hybrid optimality structure involving a combination of STAPL (single track handshake asynchronous pulse logic) circuits and QDI (quasi-delay insensitive) circuits design styles which are fundamentally different in implementation character. Compiling different description languages dynamically run-time on reconfigurable asynchronous targets where the target architectures might themselves morph based on the processed data (an embodiment of multimedia information systems for ultra-low power and battery conserving constrains), is currently difficult to realize in an optimal manner. This work-in-progress paper attempts to describe a design proposal that extends the Microsoft Phoenix compiler framework to include asynchronous instruction set targets and aims at extending the functionality of asynchronous processors to support mobile computing and development of future multimedia information systems.","PeriodicalId":426585,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Portable Information Devices","volume":"386 1-2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120929954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
