The measurement setup comprises the customized versions of Intel's close-source firmware and open-source iwlwifi wireless driver, userspace tools to enable these measurements, access point functionality for controlling both ends of the link, and Matlab scripts for data analysis.Abstract:
We are pleased to announce the release of a tool that records detailed measurements of the wireless channel along with received 802.11 packet traces. It runs on a commodity 802.11n NIC, and records Channel State Information (CSI) based on the 802.11 standard. Unlike Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) values, which merely capture the total power received at the listener, the CSI contains information about the channel between sender and receiver at the level of individual data subcarriers, for each pair of transmit and receive antennas.Our toolkit uses the Intel WiFi Link 5300 wireless NIC with 3 antennas. It works on up-to-date Linux operating systems: in our testbed we use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with the 2.6.36 kernel. The measurement setup comprises our customized versions of Intel's close-source firmware and open-source iwlwifi wireless driver, userspace tools to enable these measurements, access point functionality for controlling both ends of the link, and Matlab (or Octave) scripts for data analysis. We are releasing the binary of the modified firmware, and the source code to all the other components.read more

TyrLoc: a low-cost multi-technology MIMO localization system with a single RF chain
TL;DR: TyrLoc as discussed by the authors uses a single RF Chain to switch on each antenna in an antenna array within the coherence time asynchronously, thus mimicking a MIMO platform to pinpoint the positions of WIFI, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and LoRa devices.

Acoustic- and Radio-Frequency-Based Human Activity Recognition
TL;DR: This work used a hybrid approach, employing RF and acoustic signals to recognize falling, walking, sitting on a chair, and standing up from a chair to demonstrate the advantage of combining two non-invasive sensors in Human Activity Recognition (HAR) systems and smart assisted living.

Predictable 802.11 packet delivery from wireless channel measurements
TL;DR: It is shown that, for the first time, wireless packet delivery can be accurately predicted for commodity 802.11 NICs from only the channel measurements that they provide, and the rate prediction is as good as the best rate adaptation algorithms for 802.
