Toward Centimeter-Scale Human Activity Sensing with Wi-Fi Signals

Published: 01 January 2017 Publication History

Abstract

By allowing centimeter-scale human activity sensing with Wi-Fi signals, the Fresnel zone model could revolutionize wireless sensing and Internet of Things applications. The web extra at www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_vR6O8706g demonstrates how the Fresnel zone model can be leveraged for device-free sensing of human activities such as respiration and walking.
