Abstract

In this paper, we design a device-free intruderdetection and alarm system, named WiGarde by exploitingoff-the-shelf Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI) to detect anintruder through door or window. WiGarde extracts the CSIamplitude information across MIMO antennas. Weimplemented WiGarde with commercial IEEE 802.11 NICs andevaluated its performance in two cluttered indoor environments.The system is robust and avoids false alarm occurrence, owingto our novel bad stream elimination algorithm. To extract thebest feature, we design a new method to intercept the segment ofthe signal of intrusion based on wavelet analysis and dynamictime window based on Short-time Energy. We adopt SupportVector Machine (SVM) algorithm to classify human intrusion;our SVM algorithm could classify intrusion process with generalwalking through the area of interest. We compare WiGardewith the previous approaches; results show that our systemoutperforms the corresponding best CSI-based and RSSI-basedin both of static and motion states. Our system gained highaccuracy of 94.5% in a dynamic environment for intrusionthrough door or window.
