We have proposed, implemented and compared several approaches for user movement (trajectory) extraction. Unlike other approaches, our approaches are purely based on WiFi sensing without the knowledge of user's physical location. This is a favorable approach in scenarios that aim at high energy efficiency. We only collect WiFi information passively, i.e. we only listen to broadcast beacons and do not transmit any probe requests.

Mobile devices are equipped with a GPS receiver, but its frequent use can cause a high battery drain. Our design of continuous location tracking aims at providing a reasonable trade-off between energy consumption, location acquisition accuracy. We use WiFi scanning for decisions about when to start using GPS receiver. The experiments show that our design provides significant energy savings when compared to other continuous location tracking alternatives. Maroš Čavojský and Martin Drozda.
