The Wall Reflection Becomes a Walking Sensor
A fixed 60.8-gigahertz communication link classifies pace and direction from motion-shaped power fades without dedicated radar hardware.
Summary
A fixed 60.8-gigahertz communication link classifies pace and direction from motion-shaped power fades without dedicated radar hardware.
Three participants made 144 perpendicular and diagonal crossings through a wall-reflected millimeter-wave link. Fade duration supplies walking-pace features, while asymmetry before and after the fade carries direction. Under leave-one-participant-out validation, logistic regression reaches 86.1 percent for binary pace, 79.2 percent for three pace classes and 77.1 percent for travel direction. The experiment uses continuous-tone signals and a small participant set, so it demonstrates feasibility rather than production-grade occupancy sensing.
Why it matters
A fixed 60.8-gigahertz communication link classifies pace and direction from motion-shaped power fades without dedicated radar hardware.
Limits and context
