Abstract
We propose a WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) sensing framework for multi-station deployments that addresses two fundamental challenges in practical CSI sensing: station-wise feature missingness and limited labeled data. Feature missingness is commonly handled by resampling unevenly spaced CSI measurements or by reconstructing missing samples, while label scarcity is mitigated by data augmentation or self-supervised representation learning. However, these techniques are typically developed in isolation and do not jointly address long-term, structured station unavailability together with label scarcity. To bridge this gap, we explicitly incorporate station unavailability into both representation learning and downstream model training. Specifically, we adapt cross-modal self-supervised learning (CroSSL), a representation learning framework originally designed for time-series sensory…
