Save Our Spectrum: Contact-Free Human Sensing Using Single Carrier Radio
Recent research has demonstrated new capabilities in radio frequency (RF) sensing that apply to health care, smart home, and security applications. However, previous work in RF sensing requires heavy utilization of the radio spectrum, for example, transmitting thousands of WiFi packets per second. In this paper, we present a device-free human sensing system based on received signal strength (RSS) measurements from a low-cost single carrier narrowband radio transceiver. We test and validate its performance in three different applications: real-time heart rate monitoring, gesture recognition, and human speed estimation. The challenges in these applications stem from the very low signal-to-noise ratio and the use of a single-dimensional measurement of the channel. We apply a combination of linear and non-linear filtering, and time-frequency analysis, and develop new estimators to address the challenges in the particular applications. Our experimental results indicate 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.
