Abstract:
A method of tracking a service queue using a single-point signal monitor in which at least one customer carries a wireless device may include: receiving a received signal strength from the wireless device as a trace; identify first segments of the trace containing mostly positive sloped received signal strength; identify second segments of the trace containing mostly negative sloped received signal; extract attributes from the first and second segments as child variables for two parent nodes in a Bayesian Network in which the two parent nodes respectively model a beginning of service and a leaving period for a service queue; and inputting the extracted attributes into Bayesian Network; and determining a beginning of service and leaving period using the Bayesian Network. The method may also include determining critical time points in a trace using a K-L divergence technique.

Claim (Index 18):
The device of  claim 15 , wherein the programming instructions for determining the leaving period comprise programming instructions for causing the computing device to:\n identify one or more segments from the slope of the trace, each having a consecutive negative slope and having a starting time t 0 i  and an ending time t 1 i ; select a segment from the one or more identified segments, wherein the selected segment maximizes a utility function u i = \u03b1 \u00b7 T i max \ue8a0 ( T ) + \u03b2 \u00b7 S i max \ue8a0 ( S ) + \u03b3 \u00b7 R i max \ue8a0 ( R ) , wherein:\n T i  denotes time length of the one or more segments, and T denotes all such length, \n S i  is the average received signal strength (RSS) over a time window L of the one or more segments before the ending time t 1 i , and S denotes all such average RSS, \n R i  is the ratio of the RSS at t 0 i  and t 1 i , and R denotes all such RSS ratio, and \n \u03b1, \u03b2, and \u03bd are weights.
