Such efficient detection of the surrounding environment (indoor vs. outdoor) definitely serves those upper layer applications to improve their performance, make an effective decision about whether to turn on/off the used sensors and reduce the energy consumption aspects as well. SenseI/O consists of four main modules: (1) Smoothed single cell tower, (2) Activity recognition, (3) Wi-Fi based, and (4) Light intensity to ensure our aimed realistic and ubiquitous principles ER -
