TLDR
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

Save Our Spectrum: Contact-Free Human Sensing Using Single Carrier Radio
TL;DR: This paper presents a device-free human sensing system based on received signal strength (RSS) measurements from a low-cost single carrier narrowband radio transceiver and indicates that RF sensing based on single-carrier magnitude measurements performs nearly as well as the state-of-the-art while utilizing three orders of magnitude less bandwidth.

On Application of the Correlation Vectors Subspace Method for 2-Dimensional Angle-Delay Estimation in Multipath OFDM Channels
Elpiniki Tsakalaki,Jörg Schäfer +1 more
TL;DR: Simulation results show that the root mean square error for different number of snapshots and for low signal-to-noise ratio is reduced over the case where parameter estimation is performed without the correlation vectors subspace technique.

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.
