Research has shown that counting WiFi packets called probe requests (PRs)
implicitly provides a proxy for the number of people in an area. In this paper,
we discuss a crowd counting system involving WiFi sensors detecting PRs over
the air, then extracting and anonymizing their media access control (MAC)
addresses using a hash-based approach. This paper discusses an anonymization
procedure and shows time-synchronization inaccuracies among sensors and hashing
collision rates to be low enough to prevent anonymization from interfering with …
