Training Channel Selection for Learning-based 1-bit Precoding in Massive MU-MIMO

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Sitian Li

Learning-based algorithms have gained great popularity in communications since they often outperform even carefully engineered solutions by learning from training samples. In this paper, we show that the selection of appropriate training examples can be im ...

ComplexBeat: Breathing Rate Estimation from Complex CSI

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Andreas Toftegaard Kristensen, Sitian Li

In this paper, we explore the use of channel state information (CSI) from a WiFi system to estimate the breathing rate of a person in a room. In order to extract WiFi CSI components that are sensitive to breathing, we propose to consider the delay domain c ...

On the Advantage of Coherent LoRa Detection in the Presence of Interference

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Orion Afisiadis, Joachim Tobias Tapparel, Sitian Li

It has been shown that the coherent detection of long range (LoRa) signals only provides marginal gains of around 0.7 dB on the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. However, ALOHA-based massive Internet-of-Things systems, including LoRa, often ope ...

Learning-based Hand Gesture Classification using Channel Impulse Response with UWB

Clement Weihao Samanos, Han Miao, Andreas Peter Burg, Sitian Li

The channel impulse response (CIR) of the wireless propagation channel is influenced by the surrounding environment and thus can be used to retrieve environmental information such as location, the presence of objects, and the speed of objects. In this work ...

Band-of-Interest-based Channel Impulse Response Fusion for Breathing Rate Estimation with UWB

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Sitian Li

The channel impulse response (CIR) obtained from the channel estimation step of various wireless systems is a widely used source of information in wireless sensing. Breathing rate is one of the important vital signs that can be retrieved from the CIR. Rece ...
