IEEE 802.11AX CSI Dataset for Human Activity Recognition

The dataset includes channel frequency response (CFR) data collected through an IEEE 802.11ax device for human activity recognition. This is the first dataset for Wi-Fi sensing with the IEEE 802.11ax standard which is the most updated Wi-Fi version available in commercial devices. The dataset has been collected within a single environment considering a single person as the purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of communication parameters on the performance of sensing algorithms. Three activities have been considered -- walking and running around the room, and staying in place -- and the data in the empty space scenario has also been recorded and made available as part of the dataset. The evaluation has been performed by using the state-of-the-art SHARP algorithm and is presented in the article "Toward Integrated Sensing and Communications in IEEE 802.11bf Wi-Fi Networks" accepted for publication in IEEE Communications Magazine.

The CFR data has been collected over an 80 MHz bandwidth channel on the 5 GHz band. For each available OFDMA sub-channel, the complex-valued channel data is recorded. Overall CFR data is available for the 996 OFDMA data sub-channels out of the 1024 sub-channels available (the remaining ones are control sub-channels where the channel reading is not available.
