Research Projects
IoTP: Internet of Things Protocols
enable end-to-end communication of Bluetooth Low Energy (BT-LE) sensors/tags with servers/hosts on the Internet using a smartphone as the gateway, by implementing lighweight IPv6 and CoAP protocols on BT-LE sensor nodes.
- our position paper "Connecting BT-LE sensors to the Internet using Ipv6" submitted to Interconnecting Smart Objects with the Internet Workshop @ IETF#80 in March 2011
- Bluetooth Core Spec V4.0 is available here.
HAIP: High Accuracy Indoor Positioning
provides the highest level of accuracy with the lowest power consumption and installation cost in the world. It is based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BT LE) technology and DoA (Direction of Arrival) principle.
RCMP: Rich Context Mobile Platform, on Symbian and Maemo/MeeGo platforms aiming to
Provide a common platform facilitating integration of RCM related research technologies and application development;
Provide a unified approach for data dissemination services in device;
Provide common data model for data processing in device.
uSD entry: universal Sensor Data entry
a universal mobile gateway solution for accessing wireless sensor networks. Without need for drivers, you can expand hardware through general memory interface; an example is to enable mobile devices access wireless sensors in surroundings using a special SD card (namely, uSD card: universal Sensor Data card). We kicked off a public uSD card trial in 10+ China universities in Dec.2009. One paper is accepted by MobiCom'10 which uses uSD card to discover Wifi hotspot.
mWSN: mobile enabled Wireless Sensor Networks
leverage mobile user base as collectors for sensor data, realize large scale data gathering wireless sensor networks through mobile sinks.
Open innovations
participated in 3 China National Science Foundation (NSFC) Projects and 2 China National High-tech R&D ("863") Programs, academic networking with top China universities incl. Tsinghua, BUPT, Beihang, CAS, etc. Some conceptual system and mobile application posters at the 10th Anniversary ceremony of NRC Beijing, December 10th, 2008
- Context-aware Service Push for Mobile Consumers
- VIP Visual Tracking (a running system has been deployed in China Science & Technology Museum in Sept. 2009)
- Cyber-Real-Cyber Zooming
