DESIGN OF CRICKET
National Institute of Science & Technology

Design of cricket focusing on three fundamental issues:

• Mechanism for determining the location

• The listener algorithms and techniques for

handling beacon interference.

• Beacon positioning and configuration.

The nearest beacon to a listener may

not be in the same geographic space.

Why CRICKET IS NEED

National Institute of Science & Technology

• Due to cricket navigation systems become

possible
• Cricket-enabled sensors can provide
environmental data specific to their location
• Cricket also fulfills a prerequisite for
pervasive computing.
• Cricket-enabled name tag could route phone
calls to the phone nearest to the wearer.

Conclusion
National Institute of Science & Technology

Cricket is the result of five design goals . Its

innovative aspects include the use of beacons
with combined RF and ultrasound signals in a
decentralized, uncoordinated architecture.
It is ease to implement location-dependent
applications like active map and location-based
services with the help of Cricket. It is possible to
implement a location-support system that
maintains user privacy and has no centralized
control.
