Standardization & Interoperability Conclusion Resources Introduction Imagine a camera that can “see” without lenses, a sensor that captures motion without needing a wearable, and a system that transforms the invisible radio waves around us into a vivid description of human activity. This is precisely what Wireless Channel State Information (CSI) enables. By tapping into the fine‑grained amplitude and phase data of Wi‑Fi, mmWave, or 5G signals, researchers have turned ordinary communication links into powerful, privacy‑preserving motion sensors. ...
