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

Pi-NIC: Indoor Sensing Using Synchronized Off-The-Shelf Wireless Network Interface Cards and Raspberry Pis
TL;DR: In this paper , an indoor joint communication and sensing system that consists of synchronized off-the-shelf wireless network interface cards (NIC) and Raspberry Pis is presented, which introduces the raw phase of CSI into sensing by synchronizing the transmitter and receiver clocks to remove carrier frequency offset and using a new method to remove packet detection delay.

Cross-layer Path Selection in Multi-path Transport Protocol for Mobile Devices
TL;DR: This work quantitatively study the impact of MAC-layer factors on the aggregated performance of MPTCP and proposes a decision tree approach for cross-layer path selection that decides which path to carry the incoming packets dynamically according to the prior learned schemes.

Understanding the Mechanism of Through-Wall Wireless Sensing
TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed a through-wall wireless sensing model, aiming to characterize the propagation laws and sensing mechanisms of Wi-Fi signals in throughwall scenarios, based on the assumption that the WiFi signals will be refracted while there is a wall between the transceivers and prove theoretically that the original Fresnel model can be seen as a special case of the proposed model.

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.
