    摘要: Methods, apparatus and systems for wireless sleep monitoring are disclosed. In one embodiment, a described sleep monitoring system comprises: at least one sensor in a venue, wherein the at least one sensor comprises a wireless non-contact sensor having no physical contact with the user; a processor communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor; a memory communicatively coupled to the processor; and a set of instructions stored in the memory. The set of instructions, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform: obtaining, based on the at least one sensor, a plurality of time series of sensing features (TSSF) associated with a sleep motion of a user in the venue, and monitoring the sleep motion of the user jointly based on the plurality of TSSF. At least one TSSF of the plurality of TSSF is obtained by: communicating, based on the wireless non-contact sensor, a wireless signal in a wireless multipath channel of the venue, extracting a time series of channel information (TSCI) of the wireless multipath channel of the venue from the wireless signal, and obtaining the at least one TSSF based on the TSCI.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus and systems for wireless object tracking are described. In one example, a described wireless tracking system comprises: a transmitter, a receiver, and a processor. The transmitter is configured for transmitting a first wireless signal using a plurality of transmit antennas towards at least one object in a venue through a wireless multipath channel of the venue. The receiver is configured for: receiving a second wireless signal using a plurality of receive antennas through the wireless multipath channel between the transmitter and the receiver. The second wireless signal differs from the first wireless signal due to the wireless multipath channel and a modulation of the first wireless signal by the at least one object. The processor is configured for obtaining a set of channel information (CI) of the wireless multipath channel based on the second wireless signal received by the receiver, and tracking the at least one object simultaneously based on the set of CI. Each CI in the set is associated with a respective one of the plurality of transmit antennas and a respective one of the plurality of receive antennas.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus and systems for periodic or transient motion detection, e.g. fall event detection, based on wireless signals are described. In one example, a described system comprises: a transmitter configured for transmitting a first wireless signal through a wireless multipath channel of a venue; a receiver configured for receiving a second wireless signal through the wireless multipath channel; and a processor. The second wireless signal differs from the first wireless signal due to the wireless multipath channel that is impacted by a target motion of an object in the venue. The processor is configured for: obtaining a time series of channel information (TSCI) of the wireless multipath channel based on the second wireless signal, computing a time series of spatial-temporal information (STI) of the object based on the TSCI, and detecting the target motion of the object based on the time series of STI (TSSTI).
