GSM based hand-held commsense-sensor for environment monitoring

Communication based passive radar system for civilian applications has great research potential. The current work includes real-time implementation of such a system, which we here named as CommSense. CommSense uses the available channel equalization block of existing communication system to sense the environmental parameters in real-time. This paper illustrates the implementation potential of the system on a hand-held device using open-source Software Defined Radio (SDR) environment.
