Introduction

What is this?

WiFi signals carry far more information than connectivity status. When WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) — the 56-dimensional complex-valued subcarrier measurements that every modern WiFi chipset produces — passes through a room, it encodes the geometry, the people, and the activity happening in that space. Our CsiToPoseTransformer (ADR-023) already learns to decode this signal into 17-keypoint human body poses.

But there is a problem: the rich internal representations this model learns are thrown away after each inference. The transformer's GNN produces 17 body-part feature vectors (each 64-dimensional) that capture nuanced information about the WiFi environment and the people in it — then discards them to output only xyz coordinates. These features could power room identification, person re-identification, activity classification, anomaly detection, and cross-environment transfer learning — if only we could extract, compare, and index them.

This issue proposes adding a contrastive embedding capability to the existing transformer backbone. Rather than building a new model from scratch, we attach a lightweight projection head (~25K parameters) that maps the GNN internal features into a 128-dimensional embedding space suitable for similarity search, HNSW indexing, and cross-modal alignment. The total model remains under 60K parameters — 60 KB at INT8 — comfortably fitting on an ESP32 microcontroller.

Why contrastive learning, not a generative "LLM" approach?

CSI data is 56 continuous-valued floats sampled at 20 Hz — not discrete tokens. Autoregressive generation is architecturally mismatched, 500x more expensive per inference, and cannot fit on edge hardware. The WiFi sensing literature (SelfHAR, SignFi, Wang et al. 2023) unanimously uses contrastive or masked objectives for CSI representation learning. See ADR-024 Section 6 for the full analysis.


Features and Benefits

Self-Supervised Pretraining (No Labels Required)

Train the embedding backbone from any raw WiFi CSI stream — no cameras, no annotations, no paired data. SimCLR-style contrastive learning with 5 physically-motivated augmentations (temporal jitter, subcarrier masking, Gaussian noise, phase rotation, amplitude scaling) teaches the model what makes two CSI observations "similar" without human supervision. This means:

  • Deploy a new WiFi sensor, collect 10 minutes of ambient CSI, and the pretrained backbone is ready
  • Dramatically reduces labeled data requirements for downstream pose estimation

Universal WiFi Fingerprinting

The 128-dim L2-normalized embeddings serve as compact, comparable fingerprints for any WiFi observation. Two CSI frames from the same room will have high cosine similarity; frames from different rooms will be distant. This enables:

  • Room-level localization without GPS or beacons
  • Environment change detection when furniture moves or walls change
  • Anomaly/intrusion detection when an unexpected person enters a monitored space

Embeddings feed directly into HNSW vector indices (ADR-004) for sub-millisecond nearest-neighbor retrieval:

Index Type What it stores Update frequency Use case
env_fingerprint Mean embedding over 10s windows On environment change Room identification
activity_pattern Embedding at activity boundaries Per activity Activity classification
temporal_baseline Embedding during calibration At deployment Anomaly detection
person_track Per-person embedding sequences Per detection Re-identification

Cross-Environment Transfer

Contrastive pretraining on diverse environments produces embeddings that capture environment-invariant features. A model pretrained on 100 rooms adapts to room 101 with just minutes of unlabeled data, compared to hours of labeled data for training from scratch.

Dual-Purpose Single Forward Pass

The same model simultaneously produces:

  • Pose keypoints (via existing xyz_head + conf_head) for body tracking
  • Embedding vectors (via new projection head) for fingerprinting and search

No additional inference cost — both outputs share the same backbone computation.

Domain-Driven Design Alignment

This feature maps to three bounded contexts in the WiFi-DensePose domain:

1. Representation Learning Context (new)

  • Aggregate Root: EmbeddingExtractor — owns the projection head and produces embeddings
  • Value Objects: CsiEmbedding (128-dim vector), EmbeddingConfig, AugmentationParams
  • Domain Events: EmbeddingExtracted, PretrainEpochComplete, IndexUpdated
  • Repository: RVF segment SEG_EMBED = 0x0C for model persistence

2. Signal Processing Context (existing, extended)

  • Aggregate Root: CsiToPoseTransformer — extended with embed() method exposing body_part_features
  • Integration: The embedding context depends on the signal processing context backbone but owns the projection head independently

3. Fingerprint Search Context (new, fulfills ADR-004)

  • Aggregate Root: FingerprintIndex — owns HNSW index lifecycle
  • Entities: IndexEntry (embedding + metadata + timestamp)
  • Value Objects: SearchResult (neighbor + distance + metadata)
  • Domain Events: IndexBuilt, NeighborFound, AnomalyDetected

Key Design Decisions in ADR-024

Decision Rationale
Contrastive (not generative) CSI is continuous-valued, not tokenizable; 500x cheaper inference; fits edge hardware
SimCLR objective (not BYOL/VICReg) Simplest contrastive method; fallback to VICReg if embedding collapse detected
128-dim projection (not 64 or 256) Standard dimension for HNSW; balances expressiveness vs memory
L2 normalization Enables cosine similarity via dot product; required for InfoNCE temperature scaling
Reuse backbone (not standalone) Zero architectural waste; ~25K new params vs ~500K+ for standalone model
INT8 quantization validated Spearman rank correlation > 0.95 required; FP16 fallback for projection head
