Abstract:With the advent of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-enabled smartphones, there has been considerable interest in investigating BLE-based distancing/positioning methods (e.g., for social distancing applications). In this paper, we present a novel hybrid learning method to support Mobile Ad-hoc Distancing (MAD) / Positioning (MAP) using BLE-enabled smartphones. Compared to traditional BLE-based distancing/positioning methods, the hybrid learning method provides the following unique features and contributions. First, i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
