Abstract

Urban sensor networks produce large amount of data including available WiFi networks information and current GPS location. We work on finding usable information in this WiFi "noise" in urban environments, envisioning the provision of efficient WiFi roaming during travel within the city. We identify the main challenges of such service, and discuss specific issue like finding the optimum sequence of WiFi AP for given route.
