GPS information, machine learning (1/2)

Fingerprinting usually requires an initial Offline phase, where calibration is

done for building an initial Radio Map (RSS, TOA, TDOA).

Then, Machine Learning Algorithms can be used to classify/detect identical

patterns, and thus identify the Positions.

Ultimately, Online matching can also be used to adapt/enhance the initial

dataset/database.

802.11 channels @2.4GHz 14 channels

For sake of battery consumption, an Adapted

Scanning Policy, taking into account Radio

environment (e.g. Channel Popularity [1,6,11]) is

likely to improve the battery life. This could be

adapted by Application Layer.

Passive Vs Active Sniffing

Only 10% additional captured packets via Active sniffing

In our case, the IoT Device is only using Passing Sniffing,

for sake of battery consumption.

WiFi sniffing principle is applicable to any database, similar to Google API. Once Location of AP is

stored, together with their MAC address (Id), then RSSI algorithm can be applied.

Finally.

Sagemcom is deeply committed to make IoT LPWAN Asset

Management/Tracking a Business reality.

LoRaWAN via its inherited Time stamping capabilities from

CSS, together with Very Low Power & High Range

takes a definitely a Key Disruptive position in that Market.

Combining with other IoT Technologies such as GPS Offload,

WiFi scanning and BLE secures a strong Leaders Position.

This is a joint Optimization Problem from the Device towards

Cloud Processing/Data Analytics & Anchors positions

Databases, via Gateways.
