Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) enable smart environments to provide pervasive and ubiquitous applications, which give context-aware and scalable services to the end users. In this paper, an agent-based architecture is proposed for knowledge discovery and the variation in received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is used for knowledge extraction. Several experiments are conducted in an in-door environment to demonstrate the application of RSSI for ubiquitous monitoring. For instance, a WSN, which consists of Moteiv's Tmote Sky sensors, is deployed in a bedroom to determine the sleeping behavior and other physical activities of a person. Similarly, aWSN is used to identify the occupied chairs in a room, as well as the mobility of a person.
