Summary
This study introduces a model for the farthest an intruder can be detected using WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) in indoor non-line-of-sight (NLoS) environments. The findings establish a performance limit for CSI-based intrusion detection systems.
Area of Science:
- Wireless communication
- Signal processing
- Indoor safety systems
Background:
- Passive intrusion detection is crucial for indoor safety.
- Channel State Information (CSI) offers cost-effective, privacy-preserving intrusion detection.
- Existing CSI methods lack detailed analysis of detection bounds.
Purpose of the Study:
- To precisely characterize and model the intrusion detection bound in indoor non-line-of-sight (NLoS) scenarios using CSI.
- To establish the fundamental performance limits of CSI-based intrusion detection.
Main Methods:
- Derived an intrusion-disturbed NLoS channel model considering human impact.
- Developed a mathematical model for the intrusion detection bound based on the channel model.
- Proposed a practical system to estimate the real-world intrusion detection bound.
Main Results:
- Experimental and simulation results validated the derived bound model.
- Demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed bound estimation system.
- Quantified the farthest intruder position for CSI-based detection in NLoS.
Conclusions:
- The study provides the first precise characterization and model of CSI-based intrusion detection bounds in indoor NLoS.
- The derived model sets a fundamental performance limit for basic CSI intrusion detection.
- Offers a valuable reference for bound estimation in other fine-grained wireless sensing applications.
