  2. Smartphone Networks • Smartphone: A powerful sensing device! • Processing: 1 GHzdual core • RAM & Flash Storage:1GB & 48GB, respectively • Networking: WiFi, 3G (Mbps) / 4G (100Mbps), BlueT. • Sensing: Proximity, Ambient Light, Accelerometer, Microphone, Geographic Coordinates based on AGPS (fine), WiFi or Cellular Towers (coarse). • Combining many of those smartphones creates “smartphone networks” that can be utilized for Data Acquisition in Urban Environments. • Opportunistic Sensing (Active): with conscious human involvement • Participatory Sensing (Passive): w/out involvement

  3. Built-in Sensors on Smartphones Camera: Find the right coupons on the right moment! Microphone: MedicalStethoscope. Compass / Accelerometer: Augmented Reality GPS/WIFI/Cell:Smartphone Social Networks

  4. External Sensors for Smartphones Movement Sensors for Athletes Nike+Apple Body Sensors: ECG, etc. Urban Sensing: CO2, etc.

  5. Infrastructure-based Urban Sensing Mapping Road Traffic is traditionally carried out with fixed cameras & sensors mounted on roadsides http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/

Infrastructure-less Urban Sensing Received Signal Strength (RSS): power present in WiFi radio signal Ε Ζ Γ Η Δ A B Graphics courtesy of: A .Thiagarajan et. al. “Vtrack: Accurate, Energy-Aware Road Traffic Delay Estimation using Mobile Phones, In Sensys’09, pages 85-98. ACM, (Best Paper) MIT’s CarTel Group

  7. Smartphone Networks: Applications NoiseMap "Ear-Phone: An End-to-End Participatory Urban Noise Mapping System " Rajib Rana, Chun Tung Chou, Salil Kanhere, Nirupama Bulusu, and Wen Hu. In ACM/IEEE IPSN 10, SPOTS Track, Stockholm, Sweden, April 2010. • Monitoring Urban Spaces • Traffic (VTrack), Road Quality (PotHole), Air Quality (HazeWatch,CommonSense), Noise Pollution (Earphone), ...

  8. Smartphone Networks: Incentives • Crowd-Sourcing • “Crowdsourcing is the act of outsourcing tasks to an undefined large group of people through an open call”– Wikipedia • Gigwalk: Perform “Gigs” (e.g., photograph POI, collect prices, populate GIS databases, etc.) and earn money • Marketing • e.g., allow companies to run real-time privacy-aware marketing queries on participating smartphone units

  9. Smartphone Networks vs. Sensor Networks • Differences with Sensor Networks: • Mobility, as Sensor Networks were mostly static. • Multi-modal Communication (Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G, NFC) while WSNs use mostly one (e.g., Zigbee) • More Sensing and Processing Possibilities • Privacy / Anonymity / Higher Security Requirements • Sensing is a Secondary Function • Human Spaces vs. Environment Monitoring • Human-controlled Sensing vs. Human-operated Sensing • No Capital Costs, existing network (3G or WiFi), Smartphones and Infrastruc. (market) can be used. • Economies of scale (>5 Billion phones) platform applications economics

  10. Smartphone Networks vs. Sensor Networks • Similarities with Sensor Networks: • Limited Energy • Multi-hop Networks • In-Network Processing and Aggregation • Query Routing Tree Structures

  11. Presentation Outline • Introduction, Background and Applications • Contributions • SmartTrace: Disclosure-free Trace Search • SmartOpt: Multi-Objective Query Optimization • SmartPro: Finding Neighboring Smartphones • SmartNet: A Testbed for Smartphone Network Application Development. • Conclusions

  12. SmartTrace: Motivation • Popular Smartphones are already collecting positional information. Same applies to Social Networking Applications (e.g., Latitude, Gowalla, Twitter, etc.) • iPhone User Position Logging: • iPhone collects coarse-grain positional information (i.e., triangulated Cell tower) locally on your smartphone (and iTunes backup). • The unencrypted log file is even migrated between devices. • Displaying your iPhone trace history on a Map: http://petewarden.github.com/iPhoneTracker/

  13. SmartTrace: System Model Find the K most similar trajectories to Q without pulling together all traces at QN

  14. SmartTrace: Constraints • Don’t Disclose the User’s Trajectory to QN • Social sites are already undergoing significant privacy restructuring (e.g., google buzz, facebook) • Trajectories are large (270MB/year with 2s samples) • Minimize Net Traffic and Local Processing • 3G/4G and WiFi traffic: i) depletes smartphone battery and ii) degrades network health* * In 2009 AT&T’s customers affected by iPhone release.

  15. SmartTrace: Algorithm Outline • An intelligenttop-K processing algorithm for identifying the K most similar trajectories to Q in a distributed environment. • Step A: Conduct the linear-time trajectory computation on the smartphones to approximate the answer. • Step B: Exploit the approximation to iteratively ask specific nodes to conduct a more expensive quadratic function and find the answer "Disclosure-free GPS Trace Search in Smartphone Networks", D.
