Signal Processing and Communications for Sensor Networks
Google Tech Talks
April 1, 2009
ABSTRACT
Presented by Martin Vetterli
A sensor network is a spatio-temporal sampling device with a wireless communications infrastructure. In this talk, after a short overview of the Center on Mobile Information and Communication Systems, where large scale ad hoc and sensor networks are being studied, we will address the following questions related to large sensor networks and their applications in environmental monitoring.
1. The spatio-temporal structure of distributed signals, with an emphasis on the physics behind the signals, and results on sampling.
2. The interaction of distributed source compression and transmission, with a particular focus on joint source-channel coding. This is the key theoretical question in sensor network signal acquisition and communication.
3. Applications in environmental monitoring, like for example tomographic measurements, and a description of a large scale environmental monitoring project in the Swiss Alps. This project, called SensorScope , has generated large and novel data sets for environmental questions, all available in open access.
This is joint work with T.Ajdler, G.Barrenetxea, H.Dubois-Ferriere, F.Ingelrest, R.Konsbruck (EPFL), and M.Gastpar (UC Berkeley). The work is sponsored by the Center on Mobile Information and Communication Systems (http://www.mics.org), funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.

Cell Site Analysis – a Brief Introduction
An introduction into Cell Site Analysis
Technical Background of Cell Site Analysis by Simon Steggles – Mobile Phone Forensics
Cell phones, (or Mobile phones) used today are transceivers which use little power. They combine both a transmitter and a receiver. Although most cell phones, (or Mobile phones), are used to provide a telephone service for the public, they are still radio transmitters and receivers. Because of this, mobile phones, (or mobile phones), behave in the same way that traditional radio equipment does. Mobile phones operate through networks, (which in the UK are run by O2, Vodafone, Orange and T-Mobile). These networks are GSM, (Global Systems for Mobile communications), and are built around an array of transmitters, receiving stations which cover nearly all of the United Kingdom. Many other countries follow this similar rule; however, they may have different networks run by different companies, (Verizon, AT&T etc).
These transmit and receive stations (or beacons), are also known as ‘Cell Sites’. Each cell site consists of multiple receivers and transmitters and of course the relevant aerials associated with each one. These sites are often on masts, can be sited above police stations, schools or other tall buildings, (giving clearer transmissions, therefore clearer line of site transmission).
Each cell site has a reference number and name. Using this information, one can state exactly the area of the cell site. From this we can pin point to a very small area if the suspect phone has been used in this area.
Whenever a mobile phone is ‘on’, it scans the radio frequencies assigned to it by its designated network provider, and then links up the cell that gives it the best coverage. This process is called registration, and is of course necessary for the networks so that they can direct incoming or outgoing calls to the correct phone. When travelling, (for example), a phone may move from one cell site to another. This is achieved by the phone evaluating the signal at all times, and switching over to the appropriate best one. This is also logged by the networks and is known as a ‘handover’. The handover also ensures a continuation of the call, rather than the requirement to redial every time a new better cell site is found.
Network providers positioned their cell sites after carrying out extensive testings on the frequency, geographical position, and potential transmission/reception hazards. Extensive maps of these tests are kept by the network providers, showing the specific cover of each transmitter and receiver.
Even when mobile phones are not executing a call, they are still logged on the network providers systems, ready for their next call/message. This information is not stored historically, however when a call is made or received, it is. When a phone is ‘live’ i.e. switched on and connected to the network providers, it is possible to track it by the non recorded records which get switched on manually.
Geographical locations can be specified for a mobile phone by referring to the call detail records, (CDR’s). This can give you information of which cell site was being used. From checking the records about the specific site in question, it is then possible to find out about if the aerial was a full 360 degrees, or an azimuth of 120 degrees, (these can vary). If the call was coming from aerial 3 on a cell site, then it is right to assume that the specific geographic location of that cell phone is now only a third or the original area it was thought to be in, (e.g. If a call was made from the south of a cell site, then it is likely that the mobile phone was within a reasonable, (varies) distance from the south of that cell site).
Things to take into consideration:
1. Cell Site Analysis is not a proven science. Even if a mobile phone was used in position A, to the south of a cell site, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the phone was actually there. It could well be anywhere up to a theoretical 35Kms away if all the cell sites between the phone and the used cell site had achieved maximum usage, (cell sites can only accommodate a finite amount of traffic at one time) or are not in service.
2. The cell site chosen is not necessarily chosen by the phone, it may be the network ‘re-directing’ the phone to a ‘not so busy’ cell site.
3. Geographical locations may also prevent the usage of a cell site, (large building in the way, dense woodland etc).
The latest system for mobile phones is 3G, (third generation). This relies on UMTS, (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), a faster data transfer system using Duplexing technologies. In the UK 5 licenses were won for the ability to provide these services. These network providers are 3G Technologies, Hutchinson 3G, Orange, Vodafone, O2 and T-Mobile. Although a different style/type of service, UMTS is recorded in the same way as traditional GSM. Handover occurs in the same way between UMTS and GSM as GSM to GSM.

How To Get Your Business Bachelor Degree Online
The world of business is breaking new grounds each and every day. There are always new careers coming available and bright entrepreneur opportunities for a person with the right degree. If you are worried that you just don’t have the time to go back to school, then a business bachelor degree online may be the perfect solution.
In today’s society, it is becoming increasingly crucial to have a bachelor’s degree if you plan on climbing the corporate ladder. If you are looking for that big promotion, someone with the exact same skills who has a degree will get the job over you if you don’t. So avoid that and take the steps to ensure that you will be the one climbing the ladder, instead of holding it from the bottom.
A lot of people who are going back to school are already settled in good jobs. Many have obtained an entry-level position in a big company and wish to expand their career options. Most employees with the right work ethic and dedication can rise up through a company. However someone with a degree will be able to rise much faster.
So if you are already working full-time, going back to school probably isn’t an option. Thankfully, you can now get your business bachelor degree online from the comfort of your home or office. The benefits to garnering your degree online are incredible.
It allows many business people to keep moving up in the business world while making themselves more qualified for future opportunities at the same time. And since you are able to complete coursework on your own time, you can decide when to study and work on assignments at a time that works out for you.
By choosing to receive your degree online, you may think that you won’t be getting the same level of education. That could not be further from the truth. Online learning has grown a lot in the past few years and is now recognized as the equivalent to attending school full-time. You will learn the exact same things that you would in a classroom setting.
By obtaining your business bachelor degree online, you will have access to all of the same courses that are offered in any other business program. You will learn about accounting, communications, statistics and analyzing data among many other things. There is also a lot of focus on how to use your business degree to its fullest potential after graduation.
A business degree is one of the most valuable degrees that you could have. Since it covers so many areas, you will have the ability to work in a wide variety of positions. A lot of people say that you are either born a business person or not. Although a bit of natural talent certainly helps, acquiring your business bachelor degree online is the right pathway to ensure success.
Advancing in the business world usually takes two things: experience and education. If you have an entry-level position and the degree, it is only a matter of time until you are the one sitting behind the big desk in the nice office.
So if you really want to land that dream job but don’t have the time to go back to school, getting your business bachelor degree online is the perfect solution. Every day, more and more people are signing up. Don’t let yourself be left in the dark.

Every major company has a corporate strategy based on business objectives and competencies of the firm. Most large companies have at least fragmented CSR initiatives, programs, and focus points, and most have dedicated corporate communications teams and focused branding and marketing campaigns. And all companies have employees, who serve, consciously or not, as brand ambassadors. What’s missing—and what McElhaney offers–is an integrated strategy for connecting the dots between CSR efforts, branding and communication to customers and employees, and the company’s core business goals.
Kellie McElhaney is the John C. Whitehead Faculty Fellow of Corporate Responsibility at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley. McElhaney teaches multiple courses on Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility in all of the Haas School’s degree programs.

Vilnius Travel Guide
Vilnius, the vibrant capital of Lithuania, is situated just under 200 miles east of the Baltic shore and was included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Cities in 1994. It is also only 12 miles from the geographical centre of Europe – the village of Purnuskes – as designated by the French National Institute of Geography in 1989.
Founded in the early 1300′s Vilnius is dominated by the Gediminas Castle, named after the city’s founder, which features a recently restored red-bricked tower from which you get the best views of the city.
If you are in need of a miracle, stay in the old town and head off to the square just outside the 14th century Archcathedral Basilica. Once there look for a floor tile which carries the word “Stebuklas” – that’s the Lithuanian for miracle – and if you turn 360 degrees on that tile while making your wish it will come true, so local legend says!
As well as busting at the seams with churches and historic buildings ranging from 13th century, Vilnius old town contains a plethora of pubs and nightclubs providing a fantastic fusion of the old and new. As the average salary of a Vilnius worker is 500 euros per week you’ll find that prices of most things are a lot cheaper than in the UK.
For example, the average price of a pint of decent quality beer in Lithuania is around 80p and with clubs staying open until 5.00 am Vilnius is proving a popular location for weekend breaks. Although do be careful how much you have to drink as there are some ‘unusual’ tourist attractions in the city and you wouldn’t want to wake up in the ‘KGB museum of Genocide’, for example!
Outside of the old town, and in line with many of the cities who have emerged from years of communist rule, there is extensive development as Vilnius attempts to establish itself as a major Western capital city. The city offers reasonable shopping with Hugo Boss, Benetton and Zara all opening there recently.
Although with distinctly historic origins you’ll still find Vilnius offers ultra-modern WiFi hotspots and internet cafes in abundance, allowing you to stay in touch with the folks back home, if you want to! Or, you can totally escape to some remote spots; try Pavilniai park on the River Vilnia, situated in a glacial valley, which features steep, rocky cliffs, or if you’re there in summer try the River Neris beaches where the locals hang out.
Amongst one of the lesser well-known facts about the city is the fact that Vilnius is big on Frank Zappa. Or, rather it was in 1995 when an extremely keen local fan of the American rock musician managed to persuade the city council to allow him to erect the world’s only Zappa statue in one of the city’s parks!
Lithuania, as champions of Europe and winners of three successive Olympic bronze medals, are huge on basketball. If you visit during the season catch a game at the 11,000 seat Siemens Arena, home of Lietuvos Ryto in the Euroleague, or the smaller 1,700 seater Lietuvos Ryto stadium for the Lithuanian League games.
Flying time to Vilnius from the UK is just under three hours; British Airways and Lithuanian Airlines both fly there direct.

The Internet! Central to the digital revolution. The impact on our every day lives has been enormous. It has changed the way we communicate, work, think and most importantly shop. Where ever you look online sales are rocketing and traditional retail methods are on the decline. After all shopping on the internet is more convenient it, saves time and it saves money.
Which is why IntraStore believes this ?online? ethos extends to other established retail business models such as Forever Living Products(FLP). After a full two years of consultation with many FLP distributors, IntraStore have developed OnlineAloe. This is a complete and comprehensive internet based business management and marketing tool specifically designed for FLP distributors to increase their profits and grow their businesses faster.
OnlineAloe doesn?t need a degree in computer science to be able to use it, just a computer and access to the internet. The primary function of OnlineAloe is to give FLP distributors a web site that acts as an online storefront for their business. Through this web site new and existing retail customers will buy direct from the distributor in the same way any other shopping is transacted over the internet both securely and efficiently. Each website design can be fully customised by the retailer to suit their needs. Needless to say Online Aloe comes with a full support package including help files and tutorials.
This fully featured business solution will enable automatic tracking and control of orders placed from anywhere in the world. OnlineAloe will also enable internet based marketing and promotion of the FLP business opportunity to the existing team and to new prospects alike. One unique and clever aspect of OnlineAloe is that when an order is placed by a new retail customer they are automatically encouraged to save money by becoming a ?Smart Consumer?. The price difference is clearly displayed adding further weight to the message. Once the customer has bought enough product to become a ?Smart Consumer? OnlineAloe then displays the considerable cost benefits or purchasing ?Combo Packs?. By using this logical and compelling approach in front of the consumer we are confident that this will increase the distributor base of the owners of OnlineAloe sites.
This chain of events is only one way in which the OnlineAloe system works to automatically grow the distributor?s business.Many powerful business reporting and control features come as standard including Sales and Case Tracking, Business Management Snapshots, Order Management, Team Management and Communications and Diary tracking of important tasks such as meetings and prospect follow ups. In a nut-shell any distributor using this system will increase profit through time and cost savings when supplying and ordering products. They will also be able to grow their business faster and more efficiently using the integrated marketing and communication tools.
OnlineAloe is a revolution within the FLP business. Many are getting left behind in this new era of technology but OnlineAloe gives everyone a chance to compete in the digital age. Don?t get left behind.For more information please email us at info@intrastoresystems.com and ask for our Microsoft PowerPoint presentation in English or Spanish.
