Learning Motion-Induced Channel Dynamics with Multiresolution Multiplex Graphs for Wi-Fi CSI-Based Human Activity Sensing

Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI) supports human activity recognition from motion-induced changes in indoor propagation, yet device, environment, and user changes perturb both channel responses and subcarrier relations. We present a model that aligns valid subcarriers across inputs and combines CSI response features with a multiresolution graph. Temporal decomposition produces residual components at multiple resolutions and a smooth component. The graph propagates information along positive and negative relations between subcarriers within each resolution and uses signal energy to guide propagation across resolutions. A gate incorporates the graph representation into the response classifier. A controlled multipath study further tests the physical interpretation of signed amplitude correlations. Experiments on CSI-Bench yield weighted-F1 scores of 95.96%, 50.16%, 44.08%, and 52.19% on the four protocols, with a cross-domain mean of 48.81%, exceeding the strongest of ten locally reevaluated baselines by 4.84 points.

Abstract

Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI) supports human activity recognition from motion-induced changes in indoor propagation, yet device, environment, and user changes perturb both channel responses and subcarrier relations. We present a model that aligns valid subcarriers across inputs and combines CSI response features with a multiresolution graph. Temporal decomposition produces residual components at multiple resolutions and a smooth component. The graph propagates information along positive and negative relations between subcarriers within each resolution and uses signal energy to guide propagation across resolutions. A gate incorporates the graph representation into the response classifier. A controlled multipath study further tests the physical interpretation of signed amplitude correlations. Experiments on CSI-Bench yield weighted-F1 scores of 95.96%, 50.16%, 44.08%, and 52.19% on the four protocols, with a cross-domain mean of 48.81%, exceeding the strongest of ten locally reevaluated baselines by 4.84 points.
