Algorithm-Supervised Millimeter Wave Indoor Localization using Tiny Neural Networks

January 17, 2025
Author(s)
Anish Shastri, Steve Blandino, Camillo Gentile, Chiehping Lai, Paolo Casari
The quasi-optical propagation of mmw signals has been instrumental in designing high-accuracy localization algorithms. These algorithms either exploit the geometric properties of the mmw signals or are based on an environment's radio footprints, leading to

WLAN Protocols Identification Using Machine Learning and Ensemble Models

January 7, 2025
Author(s)
Akimun Jannat Alvina, Yao Ma, Mark Golkowski
The growing demand for wireless communications has caused significant spectrum congestion, requiring multiple WLAN protocols to share limited spectrum resources. To address this, further research is necessary to optimize spectrum sharing and improve
