Ethan’s Status Report for 03/11

A lot of the time last week was spent on writing the design report. I started working on getting the front end of the project working, which is to do packet sniffing to identify access points, send beacon frames with TIM set up such that all devices connected to that access point responds (in order to quickly get a list of devices in the vicinity), and using those devices’ MAC address to get data such as ToF or RSS. Wi-Peep’s paper suggests that exploiting the TIM should get responses from the devices within the access points fairly quickly, but it seems that my setup is somehow incorrect since it doesn’t reliably work. I will work on getting these parts done next week, along with using the devices’ MAC addresses and picoscenes to get RSS data.
