In fall 2007, Nokia also filed three patents related to determining location via Wi-Fi signal strength.

It used its mobile app, which maps the signal strength of cell networks, to take measurements.

Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength.
Still, this is going to raise a lot of questions about how, exactly, signal strength bars are calculated.
Microsoft has researched how to determine location using special radio beacons as well as by analyzing Wi-Fi signal strength.

Signal strength for over-the-air HD broadcasts was good, and the tuner worked well with MCE to record in "incredible" quality.
All of the brands studied, 240 in all, were also matched with a numerical "signal strength" to determine consumers' connection to them.
Signal strength measure and display values are not only inconsistent, largely meaningless, and are a carry over from non-digital communication days of yesteryear.
This could be resolved in the next week or so, but the former uptrend, line d, needs to be overcome to signal strength.
And, to add another level of complexity, individual phones will adjust their transmitter power based upon the received signal strength from the MicroCell.

Setup proved to be simple and straightforward, though the reviewer found it difficult to gauge signal strength, as there's no external or software-based indicator.
But Aeromobile's technology involves installing a small mobile base station on board to manage signal strength, and ensure calls do not interfere with flight systems.
Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong.
Your surfing speed depends on the phone company's wireless signal strength.
It is limited to capturing time of call, length, battery strength, signal strength: exactly the sort of things you would quite like diagnostic software to log.
The handset received strong reviews, but some users noticed that the phone appeared to lose signal strength if they touched the lower left hand edge of the phone.

Other TV functions built into the device creating a one of a kind viewing experience include real-time signal strength display, on-screen program information display and digital closed captioning.

Still, reports on housing and autos continue to signal strength.
Bjordal said research suggested about 20 cellphones were inadvertently left switched on during any given flight, and claimed that the company's technology actually reduced the signal strength of those active cellphones.
The rise and fall of signal strength in each "link" - the path from one mast to another - provides an average measure of how much rain there is between them.
Signal strength diminishes as a square of the distance.
FORBES: Wave Of Consolidation May Be Coming In Military Electronics
Researchers also found that rewarding the encoder alongside the decoder created a virtuous loop, as treating the first rat for a job well done focused its attention and improved the signal strength.
Battery power consumption depends on factors such as network configuration, signal strength, operating temperature, features selected, vibrate mode, backlight settings, browser use, frequency of calls and voice, data and other application usage patterns.
For voice the difference will be a clean completed call or a noisy dropped call, for data services the better the signal strength the higher the data rate you will obtain in both directions.
To do that, the system essentially bombards the space with an array of wireless signals and keeps watch on any changes in signal strength, building up a "picture" of the room in the process.

Fixes the way signal strength bars are displayed.

There's also an integrated LCD that provides a look at WiFi access information, battery life, network signal strength, and the number of devices connected, with audible alerts and a web admin interface available as well.
Along the top is a sort of status bar, showing the outdoor temperature, a simple representation of the battery life for the car, the name of the currently loaded driver profile, a signal strength indicator for the integrated 3G modem and a tiny clock.
The interface with large text and icons is user-friendly, but achieving this means an absence of features you might find with popular router firmware dd-wrt, such as the ability to change signal strength or bridge together multiple networks for wider coverage.
FORBES: Western Digital Unveils Routers Designed to Speed Up Home Entertainment
Each of the 20 transceivers or "nodes" can transmit and receive to the other 19, meaning there can be up to 380 measurements (20 times 19) of radio signal strength within a short period of time (the transceivers transmit one after the other).
