TLDR
This tutorial provides a brief introduction to multiple antenna techniques, and describes the two main classes of those techniques, spatial diversity and spatial multiplexing.
Abstract
The use of multiple antennas and MIMO techniques based on them is the key feature of 802.11n equipment that sets it apart from earlier 802.11a/g equipment. It is responsible for superior performance, reliability and range. In this tutorial, we provide a brief introduction to multiple antenna techniques. We describe the two main classes of those techniques, spatial diversity and spatial multiplexing. To ground our discussion, we explain how they work in 802.11n NICs in practice.

Non-Invasive Detection of Moving and Stationary Human With WiFi

TL;DR: DeMan is a unified scheme for non-invasive detection of moving and stationary human on commodity WiFi devices that takes advantage of both amplitude and phase information of CSI to detect moving targets and considers human breathing as an intrinsic indicator of stationary human presence.

R-TTWD: Robust Device-Free Through-The-Wall Detection of Moving Human With WiFi

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel scheme for robust device-free TTW detection (R-TTWD) of a moving human with commodity devices that takes advantage of the correlated changes over different subcarriers and extracts the first-order difference of eigenvector of CSI across different sub carriers for TTW human detection.
