• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a trust layer on top of Bluetooth and similar wireless communication technologies that can form mesh networks. This layer as a protocol enables computing trust scores based on proximity and bi-directional transfer of messages in multiple hops across a network of mobile devices. We describe factors and an approach for determining these trust scores and highlight its applications during epidemics such as COVID-19 through improved contact-tracing, better privacy and verification for sensitive data sharing in the numerous Bluetooth and GPS based mobile applications that are being developed to track the spread.

  This paper addresses the "what-if" problem of estimating the values of key performance indicators (KPIs) that would have been obtained if a different app had been implemented by the radio access network (RAN) We propose a conformal-prediction-based counterfactual analysis method for wireless systems that provides reliable "error bars" for the estimated, containing the true with a user-defined probability.

  We report on measurements of Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) received signal strength taken on mobile handsets in a variety of common, real-world settings. We find that the Bluetooth LE received signal strength can vary substantially depending on the relative orientation of handsets. This suggests that the development of accurate methods for proximity detection based on Bluetooth LE received signal strength is likely to be challenging.
