TRIEDS: Wireless Events Detection Through the Wall
In this paper, we propose a novel wireless indoor events detection system, TRIEDS. By leveraging the time-reversal 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 indoor multiple events detection. The multipath phenomenon denotes that the electromagnetic signals undergo different reflecting and scattering paths in a rich-scattering environment. 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 125 MHz bandwidth. Experiments are conducted to detect the states of the indoor wooden doors. Experimental results show that with a single receiver access point 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.
