Recent research has shown that human motions and positions can be recognized through WiFi signals. The key intuition is that different motions and positions introduce different multi-path distortions in WiFi signals and generate different patterns in the time-series of channel state information (CSI). In this paper, we propose Wi-Motion, a WiFi-based human activities recognition system. Unlike existing systems, Wi-Motion adopts the amplitude and phase information extracted from the CSI sequence to construct the classifiers respectively, and combines the results using a combination strategy based on posterior probability. As the simulation results shows, Wi-Motion can recognize six human activities with the mean accuracy of 98.4%.

Lossy decode-and-forward (DF) relaying, also referred to as lossy forwarding (LF), can significantly enhance the transmission reliability and expand the communication coverage at the cost of a small increase in computational effort compared to its DF counterpart. Furthermore, it can further simplify the operations at the relay nodes by removing the error-detecting operation, e.g., cyclic redundancy check, which is used in the conventional DF systems. Due to these advantages, LF has been intensively investigated with the aim of its applications to various cooperative communication networks with different topologies. This paper offers a comprehensive literature review on the LF relaying strategy and makes comparisons between LF and DF. Five basic exemplifying scenarios are taken into consideration. These are the three-node network, the single-source multi-relay network with direct source-to-destination link, the multiple access relay channel, the two-way relay network, and the general multi-source multi-relay network. The paper includes not only theoretical performance limit analyses, but also performance evaluation by employing low-complexity accumulator aided turbo codes at the sources and relays as well as joint decoding at the destination. As expected, the performance enhancement in terms of outage probability, frame error rate, and-outage achievable rate by LF over DF is significant, which is demonstrated in
