Modeling Wi-Fi Dead Spots
I’m not sure why this is not referred to as a model, but it sounds like one to me. The goal? Identify dead zones in Wi-Fi networks.
The technique identifies locations at which the network should be tested by combining wireless signal models with publicly-available information about basic topography, street locations and land use.
The app from HP and Rice University was detailed in paper that won top honors at the annual MobiCom ’08 wireless conference in San Francisco recently . The good news: it’s 90% accurate and reduces the number of locations that need to be tested to just 2%.
