(Q) wireless networking classroom cheating examples

Colleagues, As wireless capability on campus becomes more ubiquitous and wireless-enabled devices become smaller (and therefore possibly harder to detect), it seems that maintaining exam ("closed-book") security is becoming a larger issue over time (especially in large lecture hall environments). Does anyone has any pointers or references to documented (peer-reviewed literature or practioner literature) cases of higher-education students using wireless networking capability (e.g., 802.11b) to cheat on exams in class? Also, does anyone know of a pointer to a collection of techniques (technological or otherwise) to negate or migate the potential for exam cheating with wireless connectivity? Again, note I'm only interested in exam cheating, not other, more valid, uses of wireless connectivity in the classroom.
