title: An Identification Procedure for Behavioral Analysis in a Multi-User environment.
abstract: As the average age of the EU population increases, ICT solutions are going to play a key role in order to find answers to the new challenges the demographic change is carrying on. At the University of Parma an AAL (Ambient Assisted Living) system named CARDEA has been developed during the last 10 years. Within CARDEA, behavioral analysis is carried out, based on environmental sensors. If multiple users live in the same environment, however, data coming from sensors need to be properly tagged: in this paper, a simple technique for such tagging is proposed, which exploits the same wireless transmission used for transmitting data, thus not requiring additional hardware components and avoiding more complex and expensive (radio)localization techniques. Preliminary results are shown, featuring a satisfactory accuracy.
