    Direct inference of location-related context from wireless signal strength

    No full text
    In this dissertation we derive location-related context likemobility-states, co-mobility, speed and decelerations directly from the wireless signal strength information. The key insight is that the time-series of signal strength is robust to environmental factors that typically negatively affect the RSS-based localization systems. Therefore, inferring these physical properties directly from the time-series of wireless signal strength is more accurate than deriving them from location estimates. We apply correlation and time warping algorithms to the time series of wireless signals to infer these properties. Our trace-driven experimental approach shows that our inference techniques can work with minimal infrastructure, are computationally efficient, requires no explicit user participation and can produce higher accuracies than location-based systems. We have also experimentally identified the factors that limit the accuracy of indoor localization and have proved the existing assumptions behind theoretical lower bounds of indoor localization incorrect. Our results will enable new context aware applications, because accurate estimates of comobility and speed offer a richer set of primitives available to applications. Such applications can derive user mobility states like walking, running, driving or social states, such as if a user is in a meeting or alone.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Gayathri Chandrasekara

    Book review: Unsustainable inequalities: social justice and the environment by Lucas Chancel

    No full text
    In Unsustainable Inequalities: Social Justice and the Environment, Lucas Chancel demonstrates the role that economic inequality plays in maintaining social injustice and environmental unsustainability, exploring ways to better balance the reduction of socio-economic inequality and the strengthening of environmental protections. This is an accessible, relevant and thought-provoking analysis that uses well-presented facts and figure to unpack the intricate relationship between social injustice and environmental harm, finds Gayathri D. Naik. If you are interested in this book, you can listen to or watch author Lucas Chancel in conversation with LSE’s Dr Alina Averchenkova, recorded at an October 2020 online event hosted by LSE’s International Inequalities Institute.
