Abstract: In a general aspect, motion is detected using wireless signals. In an example, a method includes receiving, at a wireless communication device, requests for the wireless communication device to transmit wireless signals, the requests initiated by a wireless sensing system. The method further includes transmitting a series of wireless signals from the wireless communication device in response to the requests, and detecting, at the wireless communication device, a trigger event after transmitting the series of wireless signals. The method additionally includes updating, by the wireless communication device, a state of the wireless communication device based on the trigger event, the updated state indicating that the wireless communication device is not enabled to transmit wireless signals in response to the requests from the wireless sensing system. The method also includes communicating, by the wireless communication device, the updated state of the wireless communication device to the wireless sensing system.

Abstract: In a general aspect, motion is detected using wireless signals. In an example, a method includes receiving first motion detection output data representing a degree of motion detected by a wireless sensing system based on wireless signals exchanged in a wireless communication network. The wireless communication network includes a first access point device and a first client device communicatively coupled by a first wireless communication link. The method also includes receiving network information indicative of a network topology of the wireless communication network, and generating a first control signal configured to change a characteristic of the first wireless communication link based on the first motion detection output data and network information.
