Friday September 18

9:00-11:00AM: Prof. KVS Hari

• Mati Wax (Alarion, Tel Aviv): Multipath Fingerprinting: Exploiting multipath for Accurate Indoor Localization

Indoor localization

– Received Signal Strength (RSS) location Fingerprinting

– Channel Impulse Response (CIR) Fingerprinting – unique localization identifier – base-station antenna array

– The Multipath Fingerprint – dominant path array

1. better accuracy – 1m vs 3-5m
2. enables single-site operation – no need for overlap
3. Pattern recognition scheme

– Antenna Array Signal

– Rational of the Maximum Discrimination Projection Method – Discrimination

• Lee Swindlehurst (UCI): Physical Layer Security Games

perfect secrecy, secrecy capacity, wiretap channel, encription protocol, Jamming the MIMO wiretap Channel

Secrecy rate – Utility function – Strategic Game Theory Formulation vs Mixed Strategy

– Security

• Lang Tong (Cornell): Renewable and Storage Integration in Distribution Networks: Is Consumer-Based Integration Good for Consumers?

– Disruptive technology:  distributed solar Net-meter: sell electricity – net energy

– Disruptive technology: home storage: Battery capacity + SOlar

– New Paradigm of power system operation

– Death spiral hypothesis for Utility: Renewable integration

Energy PRICING

– One day ahead

wholesale market

retailer buy from wholesale and serve individual consumer: elastic (AC) and inelastic (light)

Demand Response: Demand Reponse Program, Pricing Mechnisn, Linear and nonlinear: Teo part Tarrif

DAHP: Day ahead hourly Price – Consumer Price Surplus,

The consumer Action: Model and Payoff

maximize surplus

Achieving tradeoff under linear tariff — Maximize social welfare

Consumenr SUrplus vs Retail recover cost, linear Pricing

Centralized and decentralized Integration

Disruptive innovation Under linear tarrif superior
