Paper presents a WiFi-based indoor sensor localization technique.
For localization and mapping of indoor environments through WiFi signals, locations are often represented as likelihoods of the received signal strength indicator. In this work we compare various measures of distance between such likelihoods in combination with different methods for estimation and representation. In pa…

We propose a scheme to employ backpropagation neural networks (BPNNs) for both stages of fingerprinting-based indoor positioning using WLAN/WiFi signal strengths (FWIPS): radio map construction during the offline stage, and localization during the online stage. Given a training radio map (TRM), i.e., a set of coordinat…
We build CSI-Net, a unified Deep Neural Network~(DNN), to learn the representation of WiFi signals. Using CSI-Net, we jointly solved two body characterization problems: biometrics estimation (including body fat, muscle, water, and bone rates) and person recognition. We also demonstrated the application of CSI-Net on tw…

A "wireless fingerprint" which exploits hardware imperfections unique to each device is a potentially powerful tool for wireless security. Such a fingerprint should be able to distinguish between devices sending the same message, and should be robust against standard spoofing techniques. Since the information in wirele…
