HANDLING CONCEPT DRIFT IN WI-FI-BASED LOCALIZATION

Systems and methods are provided for human activity analysis and localization using channel state information (CSI). A streamlined data processing and feature extraction approach that addresses concept drifts for time series data is provided. Data obtained from CSI or any other mechanism is used to estimate the wireless channel between two different wireless nodes (e.g., an access point (AP) and an associated station (STA)), and can be used to train a robust system capable of performing room level localization. A phase and magnitude augmented feature space along with a standardization technique that is little affected by drifts is also used.

Described herein is a calibration circuit for a multiple element antenna with two or more antenna transmit and receive elements. In some examples the multi-element antenna may also include a beamforming network that combine the multiple antenna radiating element inputs and outputs with controlled phase and amplitude relationships such that spatial beams can be formed by varying the phase and amplitudes of two or more signals applied to antenna input ports for the antenna.
