Time reversal based wireless events detection

In this work, we propose a novel wireless time-reversal indoor events detection system (TRIEDS). By leveraging the time-reversal (TR) technique to capture the changes of channel state information (CSI) in the indoor environment, TRIEDS enables low-complexity single-antenna devices that operate in the ISM band to perform through-the-wall multiple events detection. In TRIEDS, each indoor event is detected by matching the instantaneous CSI to a multipath profile in a training database. To validate the feasibility of TRIEDS and to evaluate the performance, we build a prototype that works on ISM band with carrier frequency being 5.4 GHz and a 125 MHZ bandwidth. Experiments are conducted to monitor the states of the indoor wooden doors. Experimental results show that with a single receiver (AP) and transmitter (client), TRIEDS can achieve a detection rate higher than 96:92% and a false alarm rate smaller than 3:08% under either line-of-sight (LOS) or non-LOS transmission.
