Abstract:
We leverage standards-compliant beam training measurements from commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) 802.11ad/ay devices for localization of a moving object. Two technical challenges need to be addressed: (1) the beam training measurements are intermittent due to beam scanning overhead control and contention-based channel- time allocation, and (2) how to exploit underlying object dynamics to assist the localization. To this end, we formulate the trajectory estimation as a sequence regression problem. We propose a dual- decoder neural dynamic learning framework to simultaneously reconstruct Wi-Fi beam training measurements at irregular time instances and learn the unknown dynamics over the latent space in a continuous-time fashion by enforcing strong supervision at both the coordinate and measurement levels. The proposed method was evaluated on an in-house mmWave Wi-Fi dataset and compared with a range of baseline methods, including traditional machine learning methods and recurrent neural networks.

AWARD MERL’s Paper on Wi-Fi Sensing Earns Top 3% Paper Recognition at ICASSP 2023, Selected as a Best Student Paper Award Finalist Date: June 9, 2023
Awarded to: Cristian J. Vaca-Rubio, Pu Wang, Toshiaki Koike-Akino, Ye Wang, Petros Boufounos and Petar Popovski
MERL Contacts: Petros T. Boufounos; Toshiaki Koike-Akino; Pu (Perry) Wang; Ye Wang
Research Areas: Artificial Intelligence, Communications, Computational Sensing, Dynamical Systems, Machine Learning, Signal ProcessingBrief- A MERL Paper on Wi-Fi sensing was recognized as a Top 3% Paper among all 2709 accepted papers at the 2023 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2023). Co-authored by Cristian Vaca-Rubio and Petar Popovski from Aalborg University, Denmark, and MERL researchers Pu Wang, Toshiaki Koike-Akino, Ye Wang, and Petros Boufounos, the paper "MmWave Wi-Fi Trajectory Estimation with Continous-Time Neural Dynamic Learning" was also a Best Student Paper Award finalist.
Performed during Cristian’s stay at MERL first as a visiting Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow and then as a full-time intern in 2022, this work capitalizes on standards-compliant Wi-Fi signals to perform indoor localization and sensing. The paper uses a neural dynamic learning framework to address technical issues such as low sampling rate and irregular sampling intervals.
ICASSP, a flagship conference of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS), was hosted on the Greek island of Rhodes from June 04 to June 10, 2023. ICASSP 2023 marked the largest ICASSP in history, boasting over 4000 participants and 6128 submitted papers, out of which 2709 were accepted.
