Identifying Wireless User Groups and Association Patterns in a Campus
Overview The goal of the paper is to understand the movement patterns of wireless users and producing models that describe client associations. This can be beneficial in many domains, including coverage planning, resource reservation, supporting location-dependent applications and applications with real-time constraints, and produce models for simulations. The paper conducted a 77-day measurement study of wireless users and their association patterns on a major university campus using the IEEE 802.11 wireless infrastructure. The paper clusters wireless clients based on their inter-building mobility and the characteristics of their movement while they are continuously connected to the infrastructure. It further distinguishes wireless clients based on their inter-building mobility, their visits to Access Points (APs), and the features of their continuous walks in the wireless infrastructure.
