Joint communication and sensing technique has been adopted for smart home design and other applications recently. WiFi sensing, which utilizes mutually orthogonal channel response to monitor the changes in the medium, is regarded as one of key techniques in this field. Human activity recognition using wireless communication system is a key function of future internet of things system. The effective and inexpensive WiFi sensing system can help people for device-free controlling, healthcare monitoring without concern of image information leakage that uses camera system. In this article, we proposed a continuous angle of arrival and time of flight (AoA-ToF) maps based method that adopts multiple signals classification analysis on commercial and off-the-shelf WiFi devices to detect the human activities. The performance of our system achieves 85.6% accuracy in total with 8 activities among 5 users. Meanwhile, we investigated the performance of our system under different conditions, including direction and user identity. The results show the system's robustness for human activity recognition under such conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
