A Case Study on the Monitor Mode Passive Capturing of WLAN Packets in an On-the-Move Setup

Monitor mode packet capturing of WLAN is used to derive Access points and devices in the range for localization or occupancy purposes. The general modality of capturing and analysis in almost all available studies is to capture packets by being static (STT) at a location and indoors. In STT mode, th...

The general modality of capturing and analysis in almost all available studies is to capture packets by being static (STT) at a location and indoors. In STT mode, the beacon and probe packets extract insights about the localization of devices and occupancy estimation. We propose scanning a predetermined path in an urban locality on the move (OTM) using monitor mode WLAN packet capturing.

The primary focus of the study was to validate the OTM modality and the methodology of detecting devices and APs. We studied all the packet types that were captured, including Beacons and Probes.
