Despite the development of various deep learning methods for Wi-Fi sensing, package loss often results in noncontinuous estimation of the Channel State Information (CSI), which negatively impacts the performance of the learning models. To overcome this challenge, we propose a deep learning model based on Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) for CSI recovery, named CSI-BERT. CSI-BERT can be trained in an self-supervised manner on the target dataset without the need for additional data. Furthermore, unlike traditional interpolation methods that focus on one subcarrier at a time, CSI-BERT captures the sequential relationships across different subcarriers. Experimental results demonstrate that CSI-BERT achieves lower error rates and faster speed compared to traditional interpolation methods, even when facing with high loss rates. Moreover, by harnessing the recovered CSI obtained from CSI-BERT, other deep learning models like Residual Network and Recurrent Neural Network can achieve an average increase in accuracy of approximately 15\% in Wi-Fi sensing tasks. The collected dataset WiGesture and code for our model are publicly available at https://github.com/RS2002/CSI-BERT.
With the increasing demands in communication, Wi-Fi technology is advancing towards its next generation. Building on the foundation of Wi-Fi 7, millimeter-wave technology is anticipated to converge with Wi-Fi 8 in the near future. In this paper, we look into the millimeter-wave technology and other potential feasible features, providing a comprehensive perspective on the future of Wi-Fi 8. Our simulation results demonstrate that significant performance gains can be achieved, even in the presence of hardware impairments.
