The paper introduces a physics‑informed autoencoder that separates reflector speed from sensing geometry in WiFi spectrograms, enabling joint recovery of speed, geometry factor, relative amplitude, and ridge width for each Doppler ridge. It builds a compact parametric representation of spectrograms validated on a large human‑activity dataset and employs a synthetic‑to‑real training framework to avoid real‑data collection. Experiments on synthetic and 31 real WiFi scenarios show the method outperforms existing baselines in accurately extracting speed and geometry information.

WiNeRF is a neural field framework that learns a spatially continuous, complex-valued wireless channel representation from sparse channel state information collected by commodity WiFi devices. It incorporates system constraints such as antenna geometry, limited spatial resolution, and phase uncertainty through a 3D conical wave sampling model, a multi-resolution implicit scene representation, and a differentiable optimization framework. In diverse indoor environments with non‑line‑of‑sight regions, WiNeRF achieves a median prediction SNR of 5.3 dB, outperforming prior neural baselines by 4.9 dB on average, and produces a task‑agnostic channel representation that can be reused in standard signal‑processing pipelines without hardware or protocol changes.

CIG-MAE is a self‑supervised framework for WiFi‑based human action recognition that uses a cross‑modal masked autoencoder to reconstruct both amplitude and phase of Channel State Information. It introduces an adaptive, information‑guided masking strategy that focuses on high‑density time‑frequency regions and employs a Barlow Twins regularizer to align cross‑modal representations without negative samples. Experiments on three public datasets show that CIG‑MAE outperforms state‑of‑the‑art SSL methods and even surpasses a fully supervised baseline, highlighting its data efficiency, robustness, and generalization.

arXiv:2607. 09727v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: WiFi sensing based on Channel State Information (CSI) promises ubiquitous, device-free perception, yet current research remains trapped in a Tower of Babel - fragmented into isolated silos where models are tailored to specific hardware dialects, fixed environments, and narrow tasks.

The paper surveys wireless foundation models (WFMs), highlighting their role in learning reusable representations from large-scale wireless data for physical-layer tasks. It systematically reviews WFM design components—pretraining, backbone architectures, and downstream adaptation—and categorizes the literature into five task families: signal recognition and demodulation, channel representation learning, RF sensing and localization, beam management, and spectrum sensing and monitoring, including multi-task models. The analysis reveals that while WFMs show promise, evidence of transferability varies across tasks and evaluation settings, and differences in datasets, modalities, architectures, and distribution shifts hinder clear conclusions about effective design choices.

The paper presents a deep learning‑enhanced Wi‑Fi sensing system that uses only a single transceiver pair to achieve real‑time human pose estimation and localization. By leveraging prior information and temporal correlation as side information, the system reduces estimation error under hardware constraints. Experimental results show an average pose error of 0.2189 m and a localization error of 0.6124 m while running at 42 fps on commodity hardware.
