Researchers have demonstrated that Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) data from Wi-Fi can be used to infer human locations, even when the model is trained on Channel State Information (CSI). This method bypasses the need for specialized drivers or elevated permissions typically required for CSI data collection, making it applicable to a broader range of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. By feeding RSSI data into an existing CSI-based model, the study achieved approximately 80% confidence in predicting human locations when movement was present, highlighting a potential for widespread privacy invasion in Wi-Fi-dense environments.
