Abstract

Due to the increased proliferation of WiFi in public and private spaces, there is interest in exploiting WiFi for spatial monitoring. In this paper, we aim to characterize movement or objects in a channel using Channel State Information (CSI). Channel state information represents the degree to which a wireless signal has been attenuated and delayed, and hence we hope to characterize different objects and multipath channel characteristics from CSI. We place different static objects and moving humans in a channel and inspect the CSI for each channel condition. From the variations in CSI Amplitude we can accurately distinguish between a person walking, squatting,or standing still in the channel. To identify static objects, we present a novel approach by inspecting the CSI of different Or-thogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) subcarriers. This paper makes a novel contribution, by observing frequency selective behavior of CSI for different channel stimuli. This can be used to improve channel detection accuracy.
