Cognitive Radios

• Significant amount of white space
• 62 of spectrum below 3GHz is unused even in the
  most crowded areas in Washington DC. (Wang Liu,
  VTC05)

Device-Free Passive Localization

• Device-based Active localization
• User carry a device, participate actively in the
  localization process
• GPS, cellular, etc
• Wireless Network usually used for data
  communication
• Can we use it for intrusion detection during the
  night?
• Detection, tracking, identification
• Applications
• Intrusion detection, border protection, enhancing
  other security systems, increase the value of
  data networks (WiFi, WiMAX)
• Approach
• Changes in the signal is the base of detecting
  changes in the environment
• Fusion of a large number of noisy sensor readings
