Indoor localization based on hybrid Wi-Fi hotspots (2017)
Journal Article

Most existing indoor localization algorithms based on Wi-Fi signals mainly rely on wireless access points (APs), i.e. hotspots, with fixed deployment, which are easily affected by the non-line of sight (NLOS) factors and the multipath effect. There... Read More about Indoor localization based on hybrid Wi-Fi hotspots.

Privacy preserving record linkage in the presence of missing values (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The problem of record linkage is to identify records from two datasets, which refer to the same entities (e.g. patients). A particular issue of record linkage is the presence of missing values in records, which has not been fully addressed. An...
