  • Publication number: 20260095729
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an approach of receiving, from an entity in a computer network, a wireless data stream including channel state information (CSI). The approach performs a tokenization process on the CSI to generate input embeddings associated with a task. The tokenization process works independently of hardware configurations, parameter configurations, or wireless communication standards of the entity The approach trains a foundational model based on the input embeddings, wherein the foundational model is trained for sensing the task. The approach generates an activity prediction associated with the task.

  • Patent number: 12475197
    Abstract: Implementations disclosed describe methods, devices, and systems to perform out-of-distribution and recognition of activities using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor. A method may include receiving motion data by a device from a motion sensor. The method further includes generating image data comprising one or more images based on the motion data. The method further includes determining that a first portion of the image data corresponds to activities outside a classification distribution. The method further includes filtering the image data by removing the first portion from the image and generating filtered image data. The method further includes determining an activity classification, within the classification distribution, based on the filtered image data. The method further includes modifying an operating parameter of the device based on the activity classification.

  • Publication number: 20250167846
    Abstract: Methods and systems for communication and sensing systems. The disclosed method includes, among other things, responsive to receiving a plurality of channel frequency response (CFR) measurements from an antenna operating at a low-bandwidth range, generating a channel state information (CSI) across a high-bandwidth range based on the plurality of CFR measurements and determining, based on the CSI, a Doppler shift across the high-bandwidth range.

  • Publication number: 20250089014
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an approach that captures one or more wireless signals in a geographic area. Each one of the one or more wireless signals includes channel state information (CSI) data. The present disclosure produces a channel state information (CSI) representation based on the CSI data that indicates multiple channel responses corresponding to the one or more wireless signals. The present disclosure filters the CSI representation to remove at least one of the channel responses that correspond to a stationary object within the geographic area to produce a filtered CSI representation. The present disclosure predicts a presence of a moving object within the geographic area based on the filtered CSI representation.
