I finished my studies at ETHZ with following diploma thesis:
Design and Implementation of a platform for location based services using Bluetooth Infrastructure.
Abstract
In mobile ad-hoc networks, many applications need to comprehend
the environment made up of the participating devices.
This thesis designs and prototypes an architecture for distributed
gathering and dissemination of network information like link status
or node characteristics to extract neighbourship information.
Knowledge is acquired by evaluating events generated upon nodes
entering or leaving each others radio range. This concept is tested
both in a simulation environment as well as on a small hardware
platform built around a bluetooth transceiver.
