Abstract
Until now, most research in wireless networking has focused on link-layer, channel access, mobile routing and transport protocols. Little attention has been paid to developing novel location-dependent applications for wireless mobile systems, especially on a large scale involving hundreds of devices. Much of what has been done attempts to be location transparent and focuses solely on the transport of information (e.g., [1]). We intend to focus much of our attention on applications with a particular emphasis on applications that exploit knowledge about the geographical or physical locations of users and devices. We believe that the deployment of a ubiquitous robust and scalable general purpose system infrastructure for location-dependent applications will foster the development of novel and compelling applications and accelerate the deployment and use of wireless technologies. Our goal is to design and deploy such an infrastructure and develop a suite of applications tailored to the office and campus environment to validate our architecture. We propose to explore the space of in-room (infrared) and in-building (radio frequency) wireless technologies and a variety of devices (laptops, PDAs, office equipment, rooms, etc.) as
