Machine Learning for In-Region Location Verification in Wireless Networks

Abstract

1 In-region location verification (IRLV) aims at verifying whether a user is inside a region of interest (ROI). In wireless networks, IRLV can exploit the features of the channel between the user and a set of trusted access points. In practice, the channel feature statistics is not available and we resort to machine learning (ML) solutions for IRLV. We first show that solutions based on either neural networks (NNs) or support vector machines (SVMs) and typical loss functions are Neyman-Pearson (N-P)-optimal at learning convergence for sufficiently complex learning machines and large training datasets . Indeed, for finite training, ML solutions are more accurate than the N-P test based on estimated channel statistics.Then, as estimating channel features outside the ROI may be difficult, we consider one-class classifiers, namely auto-encoders NNs and one-class SVMs, which however are not equivalent to the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT), typically replacing the N-P test in the one-class problem. Numerical results support the results in realistic wireless networks, with channel models including path-loss, shadowing, and fading.

Design of Remote Real-Time Positioning Method for Long-Distance Running under Wireless Network Technology

“…Due to the rapid development of MEMS and wireless communication technology, wireless sensor networks and positioning technology have become the focus of research [1]. With the rapid growth of application requirements such as situational awareness and environmental intelligence and the continuous development of information technology, the demand for obtaining the location information of mobile objects is increasing, and the research of wireless network positioning technology has become one of the hotspots [2]. Using the coverage and bandwidth of the communication network to solve the problems of the reachability and information integrity of people or objects, respectively, location-based services have also emerged.…”

DeepSOCIAL: Social Distancing Monitoring and Infection Risk Assessment in COVID-19 Pandemic

“…Among AI-Health related works, some researchers have tried to predict the sickness trend of specific areas [33], to develop crowd counting and density estimation methodologies in public places [34], or to determine the distance of individuals from the popular swarms [35] using a combination of visual and geo-location cellular information. However, such research works suffer from challenges such as skilled labour or the cost of designing and implementing the infrastructures.…”

Machine Learning Based Real Time-Heuristic Sensor Data Analytics For Early Warning Prediction

“…When compared to different algorithms for identifying if a person is dealing with ISPA, SVM demonstrated the highest efficiency in the model in [17]. In addition, [22] discovered that SVM seems to have a higher precision for user position confirmation compared to wireless networks which rely on channel features information to function. In addition, the researchers of [23] propose using SVM to divide aerial photos into a massive flood as well as non-flood-affected regions.…”

“…This allows for the improved identification of an infected user's area and the implementation of social distancing techniques. Neural networks are used to confirm a user's position [22]. The findings in [22] suggest that ANN is employed for categorization while data is inadequate for wireless network positioning confirmation.…”
