I will discuss a specific approach, called ParaDrop, to implement such edge computing functionalities, and use examples from different domains -- smarter homes, sustainability, and intelligent transportation -- to illustrate the new opportunities around this concept.","PeriodicalId":92575,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eighth Wireless of the Students, by the Students, and for the Students Workshop.

Particularly, we study whether the inertial sensors on HMDs, can detect whether their user is operating the vehicle and infer where the driver's visual attention is focused at by tracking the driver's head without relying on cameras on the HMD or the vehicle. Detecting user's vehicle operation through head movements can help prevent the driver's interactive usage of HMD, which can cause distracted driving. Tracking driver's head movements and the driver's focus of visual attention can detect unsafe driving and additionally enable many safety applications. Our approach relies on head movements that are specific to a driver. Once the system detects the vehicle's operation, head movements can be further utilized to detect distracted driving, to predict driver behaviors and to detect inadequate surveillance cases where the driver failed to look in the appropriate place to complete a maneuver.","PeriodicalId":92575,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eighth Wireless of the Students, by the Students, and for the Students Workshop.

Most of existing technologies for respiration volume monitoring require physical contact with the human body. While wireless-based approaches have also been discussed in the literature, there are still limitations in terms of estimation accuracy and time efficiency preventing these approaches from being realized in practice. In this paper, we present an automated, wireless-based, vision-supervised system, called WiKiSpiro, for monitoring an individual's respiration volume. In particular, we present a system design encompassing a wireless device, motion tracking and control system, and a set of methods to accurately derive breathing volume from the reflected signal and to address challenges caused by body movement and posture changes. We present our preliminary results of WikiSpiro, and identify possible challenges for future research and development.","PeriodicalId":92575,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eighth Wireless of the Students, by the Students, and for the Students Workshop.

The sparsely selected frequencies in a broad bandwidth and the antenna spatial diversity enable efficient and reliable phase-based 3D localization against the ghost images from multi-path interference. We utilized one Tx and four Rx antennas with five frequencies from 829MHz to 1080MHz.

In the past few years, various systems and approaches have been proposed to detect and monitor breath and heart beat. In this paper, we show that Wi-Fi signals can also be used to recognize and count breath and heart beats with different postures. The intuition is that human activities have different impacts on time-series of Channel State Information (CSI) values, which can be utilized to recognize macro and micro human activities. In this paper, we design a Wi-Fi signal based breath and heart beats recognition system called Wi-Health. WiHeath consists of two Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Wi-Fi devices, a sender (Wi-Fi router) and a receiver (laptop). The sender sends 802.11n packets to the receiver, while the receiver continuously receives these packets and records in real-time CSI value. The receiver analyzes the collected CSI values and determines if the human is alive and the number of heart beats and breaths.","PeriodicalId":92575,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eighth Wireless of the Students, by the Students, and for the Students Workshop.

However, existing techniques for measuring those biosignals require attaching electrodes on the face and do not come in handy sizes for daily usage. Additionally, no study has been capable of providing all three biosignals with high fidelity simultaneously. In this paper, we present a low-cost bioelectrical sensing system, called LIBS, that can robustly collect the biosignal of good quality from inside human ears and extract all those three fundamental biosignals without loss of information. The practicality of LIBS is shown through one real world scenario of a sleep quality monitoring system. Based on preliminary results, we further propose potential healthcare applications utilizing the sensor's outputs for our future research.","PeriodicalId":92575,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eighth Wireless of the Students, by the Students, and for the Students Workshop.

This paper presents a novel channel state information (CSI) pre-processing scheme that enables accurate device-free localization indoors. The basic idea is simple: CSI is sensitive to a target's location and by modelling the CSI measurements of multiple wireless links as a set of power fading based equations, the target location can be determined. However, due to rich multipaths in indoor environment, the received signal strength (RSS) or even the fine-grained CSI can not be easily modelled. We observe that even in a rich multipath environment, not all subcarriers are equally affected by multipath reflections. Our preprocessing scheme tries to identify the subcarriers not affected by multipath. Thus, CSIs on the \"clean\" subcarriers can be modelled and utilized for accurate localization. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed pre-processing scheme.","PeriodicalId":92575,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eighth Wireless of the Students, by the Students, and for the Students Workshop.
