Abstract:

WiFi Sensing has received tremendous attention in Recent Literature, demonstrating the ability to leverage ubiq-uitous commercial WiFi devices to sense Human activities and environmental occupancy. We identify that in all environments fire-safety is vital, and this paper demonstrates the suitability for using WiFi to sense fire. Using commodity Raspberry Pi devices on the 5GHz WiFi band we demonstrate a temporal shift in WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) Amplitude, before, during, and after the ignition of a flame. We further emphasise the presence of fire by observing the spread of CSI Amplitudes, noting that CSI takes much more diverse values in the presence of fire. This result is exacerbated by the frequency selective behaviour of OFDM subcarriers, where some subcarriers displayed larger variation in CSI amplitude due to the fire. The WiFi Fire sensing model was evaluated in an ideal setup with a gas flame to remove material deformation as a variable, and subsequently in a real-world scenario with the ignition of building cladding.
