The popularity of wireless networks has increased in recent years and is becoming a common addition to LANs. In this paper
we investigate a novel use for a wireless network based on the IEEE 802.11 standard: inferring the location of a wireless
client from signal quality measures. Similar work has been limited to prototype systems that rely on nearest-neighbor techniques
to infer location. In this paper, we describe Nibble, a Wi-Fi location service that uses Bayesian networks to infer the location
of a device. We explain the general theory behind the system and how to use the system, along with describing our experiences
at a university campus building and at a research lab. We also discuss how probabilistic modeling can be applied to a diverse
range of applications that use sensor data.
