Wireless Link Calculator On A Cell Phone
Casey Halverson writes "Ever been out in the field and wanted to make a quick wireless link calculation, but didn't have a computer or internet connection handy? Or maybe you're just too lazy to turn the thing on? Well now you can, from your xHTML capable cell phone. PocketSOM can calculate a wireless link, telling you your signal strength, whether or not it meets local FCC/IC/EU regulations, and even an expert analysis system that will tell you how you can improve your wireless link and what kind of performance you can expect. People like us (the SeattleWireless admins) are using it right now - here's a screenshot."

While IPv6 fixes many problems in IPv4, the developed world will not
embrace IPv6 until many shortcomings in the protocol are addressed.
1. Cisco routers suck at IPv6. Many of cisco's routers use the
router's CPU to process IPv6 packets instead of the fast-path. The
reasons for this are explained in the next few points. While Juniper's
routers are substantially better at IPv6 than cisco's, IT managers are
often restrained by insane corporate policy that dictactes the use of
cisco.
2. There are too many addresses. There are 16.7 million addresses per
square metre of the earth's surface, including the oceans. This is
overkill. The world does not need more than the 4 billion addresses
available with IPv4, and I challenge you to come up with an
application that requires that many. Assuming that you can actually
come up with one, it could easily be solved with Network Address
Translation, or NAT as it is commonly known.
3. IPv6 addresses are too large. An IPv6 address is 128 bits in size -
64 bits of which are reserved for addressing hosts, and 64 bits of
which are reserved for routing. One thing that is cool with IPv6 is
address autoconfiguration. Take your 56-bit MAC address on your
ethernet card, ask for 64-bits of network prefix, bang it together
with EUI-64 and you are set. The problem with a 64-bit network prefix
is that routing tables become massive. Just do the math and you'll see
that extreme amounts of memory are required to hold routing tables.
4. The IPv6 header is too large. An IPv4 header compact at 20 bytes in
length, while the IPv6 is bloated at 40 bytes. That's right people,
each one of your IP packets has twice as much overhead as before.
While this may not sound much, IP networks have a requirement that the
minimum MTU supported must be 576 bytes. That means that where you
might have got 556 bytes of data in your IP packets, you now get 536
bytes. This means that downloading stuff will take 3.4% longer.
Sure, IPv6 allows for nice hacks like those described in this article,
but is it really ready for prime time?

So
One more story (of many) on a device that can do anothers job, all through overlapping technology. How long until we just have one device that can do everything? a device the size of a cellphone thats a PDA, with a roll-out screen and keyboard the size of a normal laptop, running at 2GHz+ type speeds, full colour, decent resolution, weighs as much as an iPod, plays MP3s and burns/writes to the common media of the day, and will take a photo or movie of you while it does so.
This whole 'convergence' thing seems to be just taking one or two traditional devices and merging them, I want to see EVERYTHING in one device.
This is pointless Any good engineer can do it with a slide rule!
Can you hear me now?
[pause]
Good!
"Ever been out in the field and wanted to make a quick wireless link calculation, but didn't have a computer or internet connection handy?"
Yes, I have that problem all the time! Why should an average Joe like me struggle with complex trigonometry when this handy little device let's me do wireless link calculations in the field like a pro? No more time consuming manual wireless link calculations for me. Are you still doing wireless link calculations with a fiddly old wireless link calculation slide rule? Throw it in the garbage! You don't need it anymore thanks to this handy gizmo. Don't be a laughing stock because you can't do quick wireless link calculations in the field... act now!
By the way, what's a wireless link calculation? (Don't you love it when an article assumes you know exactly what it's talking about?)
Read Pynchon.
What's your GCNSEQNO?
WAP / XHTML applications like this can be a lifesaver. Why don't we spend more time deveoping these and less time porting inane games to our phones? (Because games create money)
I beat the 20th post!!!

Useful but hardly revolutionary. At the Cellular company where I work we've written a Java MIDP app linked into our RF planning tool and BTS database, delivering mini coverage plots for submitted locations.
who needs mp3 players and video messaging when there are applications like this to take advantage of cutting edge cellphone technology, iam sure all the professional engineers will junk their 20,000$ test equipment and convert by the end of the day
thank goodness this exists
Make sure you keep the image quality high enough to capture every nuance of the subtle faux wood-grain background (and by background I mean 68.3% of the image), not forgetting the coffee cup stain.
Be sure to include the whole of the phone including every dialing digit, because that gives context to the screenshot.
Well done. You passed the 0.5 Mb threshold, but still shy of the 0.6 standard. Try a brightly coloured background (a stained tartan kilt plus sporan should do) next time. Remember you want to get to at least 1.5 Mb so it won't fit on a floppy.
Recycle PCs and build a wireless community network www.hillsborough.org.nz
it doesnt even validate
you do know about doctypes, character encodings and how xhtml and html parsers work right ?
without a doctype using or even calling it xhtml is worthless and the parser will use plain old html quirks mode (aka html 3), good effort but no cigar, you could of also scripted this in WMLS then the client would not need to post forms and would be able to update the display in realtime, the user could even use it offline then and store the WML locally.
and you call yourself a nerd ?
The battery on your existing cellphone is significantly *larger* then entire cellphones today!
xHTML? Wha? Back when I got my phone, digital was still a pretty hot new thing, and analog / digital dual mode was sweet. Games? E-Mail? Never heard of them!
I feel like that guy on That 80's Show (short lived, I never watched it) who's seen talking on a "mobile" phone in a club. That thing he was using was the size of a loaf of bread.
"Ever been out in the field and wanted to make a quick wireless link calculation..."
Umm, no. I have; however, been out in the field and wished my cell phone would get a goddamn signal.

"Ever been out in the field and wanted to make a quick wireless link calculation"
Nope. Next question.
It can be done using only software modifications! It's how some network operators measure their networks. I've seen a picture of around half a dozen mobile phones (each a different make) attached to a piece of wood, with cables plugged into the standard connector on the bottom, running back to a black box (think it was actually a laptop). The system then logs field strength for each phone as a function of position (GPS is also attached).
Wouldn't this be better suited as a Java MIDlet? What if you have no signal? What if the server is down? No additional bandwidth charges (for those with carriers that do). And probably quicker response times. And no worries of the site being slashdotted.
Document the calculations and I'll make a MIDlet in a couple of hours. I can find basic equations, but they take into account additional variables (cable loss, receiver related variables) which you don't use.

Now, where is the metric version?
it measured the actaul field strength of your wireless link. If you are doing field meseaurements you would have your laptop or wireless equipped PDA with you anyway. I really cannot see the fscking point or carrying around another bit of gear that does less than all the other bits of gear I carry around.
EGG, the Electronic Gamers Guild
Dear Blue Underwear,
Thank you for your correspondence concerning the draft directive on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions.
The European Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee has voted on my report on the directive and there will be continuing debate and further democratic scrutiny before the directive becomes law.
At this early stage of legislative process, it is nonetheless important to establish the facts about what the draft EU directive and what I, as the Parliament's rapporteur, are aiming to achieve in the amendments tabled to the Commission proposal.
It has been suggested that the Parliament's report will for the first time allow the patentability of computer-implemented inventions. This is simply not true. The patenting of computer-implemented inventions is not a new phenomenon. Patents involving the use of software have been applied for and granted since the earliest days of the European Patent Office (EPO). Out of over 110,000 applications received at the EPO in 2001, 16,000 will have dealt with inventions in computer-implemented technologies. Indeed, even without an EU directive, these patents will continue to be filed, not only to the EPO but also to national patent offices.
As you will be aware, in the US and increasingly in Japan, patents have been granted for what is essentially pure software. Some EPO and national court rulings indicate that Europe may be drifting towards extending the scope of patentability to inventions which would traditionally have not been patentable, as well as pure business methods. It is clear that Europe needs a uniform legal approach which draws a line between what can and cannot be patented, and prevents the drift towards the patentability of software per se.
My intention is clear in the amendments tabled and in a new Article 4 in the text, to preclude; the patentability of software as such; the patentability of business methods; algorithms; and mathematical methods. Article 4 clearly states that in order to be patentable, a computer-implemented invention must be susceptible to industrial applications, be new, and involve an inventive step. Moreover I have added a requirement for a technical contribution in order to ensure that the mere use of a computer does not lead to a patent being granted.
Furthermore, the amended directive contains new provisions on decompilation that will assist software developers. While it is not possible to comment on whether any patent application would be excluded from the directive, the directive, as amended, would not permit the patentability of Amazon's 'one-click' method. As far as software itself is concerned, it will not be possible to patent a software product. Software itself will continue to be able to be protected by copyright.
With an EU directive, legislators will have scrutiny over the EPO and national court's decisions. With, in addition, the possibility of having a definitive ruling from the European Court in Luxembourg, thus ensuring a restrictive interpretation of the EU directive and a greater degree of legal certainty in the field of patentability of computer-implemented inventions.
Some concerns have been raised that the directive may have an adverse effect on the development of open source software and small software developers. I support the development of open source software and welcome the fact that the major open-source companies are recording a 50% growth in world-wide shipment of its products.
In the amended proposal, I have imposed a requirement on the Commission to monitor the impact of the directive, in particular its effect on small and medium sized enterprises, and to look at any potential difficulties in respect of the relationship between patent protection of computer-implemented inventions and copyright protection.
Many small companies have given their support to this directive, which will give them more legal certainty as it offers the possibility of protection for their R&D investment, and so assists in
Say no to software patents.
Welcome to Wireless Link Calculator.
This is free software distributed under the GPL. See COPYING for details.
Enter first number of wireless links
> 5
Enter second number of wireless links
> 3
Together that amounts to 8 wireless links.
Have a nice day.
Mmmmmmm...lovely motif widgets.
I need to do my wireless calculation but I'm out in this field and have no signal for my cell phone!
No DTD, and the server is identifying it as text/html.
.
If you're not going to go all the way and identify it as application/xhtml+xml then you may as well write HTML 4.01 Strict. If you don't, the UA will take your XHTML (XML-style) document, run it through its HTML (SGML-style) parser and throw a bunch of errors on things like
Why cross your fingers and hope that the UA can deal with those errors gracefully?
Don't get me wrong, XHTML 1.1 kicks ass (and I can't wait for 2.0), but "tell it like it is" with MIME types.

If you notice in the image, the program is set to 2.4GHz (the frequency at which 802.11b wireless operates), but it looks like the frequency is changeable. What I find interesting is that it picks up the frequency on 2400MHz, when in fact, channel 1 of the 802.11b starts at 2412MHz (here for more info) and channels above that step up in frequency. Scenario: my neighbor John has a linksys wireless router set to its default channel 6, and I set my wireless device(s) to channel 11. Since this cellphone detects (at least, assuming they were using channel 1) within 12 MHz, what are the chances I can test just the strength of MY network? It seems as though the idea is good, but in an inner-city area, where wireless networks are more popular, it looks like it would be harder to really test your own network.
"Values in dB?"
What, then, does 2400 MHz dB mean?
Or 1 mile(s) dB?
Oh, I get it... they were referring to Tx Power and Gain.
Silly me.
This is downright awful and inaccurate. Who slid this on slashdot?
Some other guy has written some other tiny little app with limited appeal. How is this news? He uses XHTML?
Say, I have a program that calculates the specific density and body fat percentage of my cats...and you can access it via the WORLD WIDE WEB! Oh, yeah, and everything is first output into XML 1.1, then transformed by an XSLT stylesheet into XSL:FO, which is then rendered into PDF with embedded Javascript, which I then transform into WBMP for output to my cell phone through WAP Push. Every five minutes I also receive updates via animated MMS messages, and my car's 802.11 telematic system has a holographic heads-up display of the instantaneous fat accumulation rate of each feline, broken down topologically. When it drops below a threshold determined by an expert system, which is accessed via the venerable ELIZA protocol, a fiber optic quantum-encrypted transmitter activates a remote twinkie feeder device to compensate. Um...I think the twinkies might contain carbon nanotubes or buckyball-nougat or something.
I'm porting the whole system to be C# running on Mono-current running on Parrot running on FreeBSD running on VMWare running on Linux running on my home-built liquid-cooled micro form factor Opteron multimedia PC.
Sheesh.
