SigGen — Controllable wireless signal generation

Generating wireless signals for unseen combinations of people and environments.

The problem

Collecting wireless sensing data across different people and environments is time-consuming and costly. Generating signals for unobserved combinations offers a way to expand training data without collecting every combination.

The approach

We learn disentangled representations that separate human-related information from environmental factors in wireless signals. Recombining these representations enables controllable synthesis—for example, using signals from person A in room 1 and person B in room 2 to generate signals for person B in room 1.

Results

The method improves signal generation quality by 30.83% over state-of-the-art methods. Using the generated signals for data augmentation also improves gesture recognition accuracy by 12.74%.
