ICI-Free Channel Estimation and Wireless Gesture Recognition Based on Cellular Signals
Device-free wireless sensing attracts enormous attentions since it senses the environment without additional devices. While cellular signals are good opportunistic radio sources, the influence of inter-cell interference (ICI) on wireless sensing has not been adequately addressed. In this letter, we first investigate the cause of ICI and its impact on wireless sensing. Then we propose an ICI-free channel estimation method by reconstructing the broadcast signals of adjacent cells and solving simultaneous equations. Wireless gesture recognition can be greatly benefited by ICI mitigation. Finally, we build a prototype system to receive the commercial 4G-LTE signals, and demonstrate the accuracies of wireless gesture recognition under various conditions.
