A Real-Time Respiration Monitoring System Using WiFi Sensing Based on the Concentric Circle Model.

This paper proposes and experimentally validates a novel concentric circle (CC) model for indoor WiFi sensing. By setting the transmitter and receiver together, the perception model becomes concentric circles with equal spacing, eliminating the blind zone and unequal radial sensitivity problems of the Fresnel zone (FZ) model. Then a human respiratory monitoring system is developed based on this model, which executes the following steps: (1) Principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to the channel state information ratio (CSIR) as a preprocessing to extract the components related to human activities.
