A Survey on Motion Detection Using WiFi Signals

WiFi signals based applications, such as indoor localization, human activity recognition and trace tracking, have been increasing attention in the past decade. WiFi signals are sensitive to the change of indoor environment, so the above mentioned applications encounter challenges which contain dynamic indoor environment, device diversity and motion influence. We mainly survey techniques of motion detecting and estimate changes of WiFi signals reflected by motion behaviors. Moreover, we analyze the impact of motion behaviors on applications based on WiFi signals, and deeply research developmental trend of WiFi signals. Finally, we pay closed attention to opportunities and future research directions in this new and large open area.
