It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2014 Wireless of the Students, by the Students, for the Students Workshop -- S3'14. This year's workshop continues the tradition of providing a unique forum for students in all types of mobile and wireless research---from theory to practice and everywhere in between---to freely exchange ideas in a student-centric venue. The mission of the workshop is to foster early-career development among students and expose them to an academic life, providing a venue for exchanging ideas and experience organizing and running a workshop.
S3 has traditionally featured invited papers, posters, and demos from students around the world. This year, we received submissions from Asia, Europe, and the United States. The program covers a variety of wireless topics, from localization to network performance to mobile applications and more. In addition, the program includes a panel on early-career research in industry and academia and two keynote speeches from academic and industry leaders. This year's program continues the tradition of five-minute "madness" talks on crazy ideas in mobile and wireless.

RF-IDraw: virtual touch screen in the air using RF signals
In this extended abstract, we discuss high-level design principles and future applications that can be enabled by RF-IDraw, an RF-based trajectory tracing system originally proposed in [16]. RF-IDraw achieves trajectory tracing accuracy of a few ...
Using crowdsourced satellite SNR measurements for 3D mapping and real-time GNSS positioning improvement
Geopositioning using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), is inaccurate in urban environments due to frequent non-line-of-sight (NLOS) signal reception. This poses a major problem for mobile services ...
Overheard ACK with token passing: an optimization to 802.11 MAC protocol
Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) is defined in IEEE 802.11 standard, which is widely used in practice. Despite of its wide use, it has several limitations. Because of the idle and collision times, it suffers from poor channel utilization. Besides,...
D-BigBand: sensing GHZ-wide non-sparse spectrum on commodity radios
This paper presents D-BigBand, a system that senses a GHz-wide spectrum in real time using ADCs sampling at only tens of MS/s speed. It is an advanced version of our previous work, BigBand, which senses GHz-wide sparse spectrum using commodity radios. ...
Understanding RRC state dynamics through client measurements with mobilyzer
Understanding how network and application behavior patterns impact client performance on mobile devices is a difficult yet important problem to solve. Often, we are most interested in the performance experienced by end users, but accurately and ...
Assessing the impact of inter-vehicle communication protocols on road traffic safety
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) will change the experience of driving in the near future. Most applications will use wireless communication (cellular or ad-hoc) for being able to provide the required services. Usually performance evaluations of ...
CMSAS: a concept of middleware architecture to integrate heterogeneous sensor networks and actuators
Sensor Network technologies are expected to be used in various kinds of application systems. Most of them, however, have been developed to work in a dedicated system. It is desired that various types of sensor networks could be operable in a same ...
LTE radio analytics made easy and accessible
Despite the rapid growth of next-generation cellular networks, researchers and end-users today have limited visibility into the performance and problems of these networks, particularly indoors. This paper introduces LTEye, the first open platform to ...
Smart spectrum access algorithms in mobile TV white space networks for utility maximization
We study a utility maximization framework for spectrum sharing among unlicensed secondary users and licensed primary users in mobile TV white space networks. All the users maximize the network utility by adapting their signal-to-interference-plus-noise ...
