WiPhone: smartphone-based respiration monitoring using ambient reflected WiFi signals

Résumé

Recent years have witnessed a trend of monitoring human respiration using Channel State Information (CSI) retrieved from commodity WiFi devices. Existing approaches essentially leverage signal propagation in a Line-of-Sight (LoS) setting to achieve good performance. However, in real-life environments, LoS can be easily blocked by furniture, home appliances and walls. This paper presents a novel smartphone-based system named WiPhone, aiming to robustly monitor human respiration in NLoS settings. Since a smartphone is usually carried around by one subject, leveraging directly-reflected CSI signals in LoS becomes infeasible. WiPhone exploits ambient reflected CSI signals in a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) setting to quantify the relationship between CSI signals reflected from the environment and a subject's chest displacement. In this way, WiPhone successfully turns ambient reflected signals which have been previously considered "destructive" into beneficial sensing capability. CSI signals obtained from smartphone are usually very noisy and may scatter over different sub-carriers. We propose a density-based preprocessing method to extract useful CSI amplitude patterns for effective respiration monitoring. We conduct extensive experiments with 8 subjects in a real home environment. WiPhone achieves a respiration rate error of 0.31 bpm (breaths per minute) on average in a range of NLoS settings.
