  Abstract

The Channel State Information (CSI) represents the Channel Frequency Response (CFR) for OFDM subcarrier between transmit-receive antenna pairs. The value of CSI include signal strength and phase information caused by multipath effect. Using the CSI, we suggest a new method that distinguishes whether the pattern of breathing and heart-rate of a person is changed. The signal waves of CSI amplitude can represent the periodic up-and-down chest movements caused by breathing and heart-rate, and we can detect prominent changes of the signal pattern using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm. We evaluated our solution of distinguishing breathing and heart-rate pattern change in 20 experiments with 10 participants; it achieved 92% accuracy, which is comparable to that of commercial sensors. This low-cost method will be useful for monitoring our health in everyday life.
