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.

Indoor Localization With a Single Wi-Fi Access Point Based on OFDM-MIMO

TL;DR: S-Phaser is an indoor localization system that uses a single Wi-Fi access point (AP) to locate terminals and uses a geometric positioning algorithm to determine the user's location, compared to traditional indoor localization systems based on the fingerprint positioning technology.

A Trained-once Crowd Counting Method Using Differential WiFi Channel State Information

TL;DR: The attempt to emerge with an approach which does not require any dedicated training inside the specific environment where the system is deployed, by suitably identifying a set of differential CSI feature candidates and selecting the (two) most effective ones via minimization of the summation of the Davies-Bouldin indexes.

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.
