    摘要: Methods, apparatus and systems for wireless vital monitoring are described. In one example, a described system comprises: a transmitter configured for transmitting a first wireless signal through a wireless channel of a venue; a receiver configured for receiving a second wireless signal through the wireless channel; and a processor. The second wireless signal comprises a reflection of the first wireless signal by at least one living being having at least one repetitive motion in the venue. The processor is configured for: obtaining a time series of channel information (TSCI) of the wireless channel based on the second wireless signal; generating, for each living being of the at least one living being, a vital signal representing all repetitive motions of the living being based on the TSCI; extracting, from the vital signal of each living being, a heartbeat signal; and monitoring, for each living being in the venue, a heart rate variability based on the heartbeat signal.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus and systems for wireless vital sign monitoring are described. In one example, a described system comprises: a transmitter configured to transmit a wireless signal through a wireless channel of a venue; a receiver configured to receive the wireless signal through the wireless channel that is being impacted by an object motion of an object in the venue; and a processor. At least one of the transmitter or the receiver comprises an array of antennas used to transmit or receive the wireless signal. The object motion comprises at least one non-periodic body motion of the object and at least one periodic vital-sign motion of the object. The processor is configured for: segmenting space around the venue into a plurality of sectors based on a beamforming and the received wireless signal, wherein each sector of the plurality of sectors is associated with a spatial direction relative to the array of antennas, obtaining a plurality of time series of channel information (CI) of the wireless channel based on the beamforming, wherein each time series of CI (TSCI) of the plurality of TSCI is associated with a respective sector of the plurality of sectors, isolating the object motion of the object in the plurality of TSCI to generate a plurality of isolated TSCI, compensating for the at least one non-periodic body motion of the object in the plurality of isolated TSCI to generate a plurality of compensated TSCI, and monitoring the at least one periodic vital-sign motion of the object based on the plurality of compensated TSCI.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus and systems for wireless material sensing are described. In one example, a described system comprises: a transmitter configured for transmitting, using transmit antennas, a first wireless signal through a wireless multipath channel of a venue; a receiver configured for receiving, using receive antennas, a second wireless signal through the wireless multipath channel; and a processor. The second wireless signal comprises a reflection or a refraction of the first wireless signal at a surface of a target material of an object in the venue. The processor is configured for: obtaining a plurality of channel information (CI) of the wireless multipath channel based on the second wireless signal, wherein each CI is associated with a respective transmit antenna and a respective receive antenna; computing a material analytics based on the plurality of CI; and determining a type of the target material of the object based on the material analytics.

    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.
