Wireless LAN: Measurement and Analysis

Abstract:
Wireless LANs are increasingly deployed because they are convenient, 
flexible, and relatively cheap. The ubiquitous wireless coverage enables 
anytime and anywhere information access and user interactions. In this 
talk, I will first describe the measurement data we have collected from 
a production wireless network deployed at Dartmouth College. Currently 
we have more than 550 access points (APs) covering the whole campus and 
we are moving toward 1000+ AP deployment. The availability of this 
measurement data has enabled many exciting research efforts in different 
fields. I will present analysis results of users' frequent and periodic 
movement patterns on campus, which could be used to build better 
mobility model, to detect network anomalies, and to predict user 
movement.  If time permits, I will also briefly discuss some other 
analysis results. This is a joint work with Dartmouth wireless team led 
by David Kotz.

Bio:
Guanling Chen currently is an I3P Postdoctoral Fellow at Dartmouth 
College and will join Department of Computer Science at University of 
Massachusetts Lowell in the Fall. His research interests include 
wireless networks, pervasive systems, and cyber security. He completed 
his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Dartmouth College in 2004.
