Antoine Grenier: Trading accuracy for better battery: How approximate computing can improve your device positioning efficiency?

Imagine your smartphone with its GPS/GNSS location enabled, without any significant impact on your phone battery life. In his doctoral dissertation, M.E. Antoine Grenier reveals how innovative computing techniques can make this a reality. By reducing the energy consumption of GNSS receivers, Grenier’s work shows how it can enhance the efficiency of devices we use every day.
