Reported by @ArnonEnbar with a complete reproduction. broadcast_tick_task() re-emits the cached `latest_update` every tick so pose WS clients keep getting data even when ESP32 pauses between frames. The `source` field of that cached update was set to "esp32" at the moment a fresh ESP32 frame was last decoded (main.rs:3885, :4136). After the ESP32 loses power or network, no fresh frame is decoded — the cached `latest_update` is still re-broadcast every tick with the stale source: "esp32" baked in. UI's "Sensing" tab keeps showing "LIVE — ESP32 HARDWARE Connected" with frozen vitals/features/ classification re-broadcast indefinitely. REST `/health` correctly reports source: "esp32:offline" (via effective_source(), which checks last_esp32_frame elapsed time against ESP32_OFFLINE_TIMEOUT=5s) — but the WS broadcast path was the one consumer that didn't call it. Fix: clone the cached update per tick, overwrite source with s.effective_source(), then serialize and broadcast. UI now switches to "esp32:offline" on the same 5s budget as the REST surface. cargo build -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server --no-default-features: 17s, no errors (1 pre-existing unused-import warning unchanged). |

wifi-densepose-sensing-server
Lightweight Axum server for real-time WiFi sensing with RuVector signal processing.
Overview
wifi-densepose-sensing-server is the operational backend for WiFi-DensePose. It receives raw CSI
frames from ESP32 hardware over UDP, runs them through the RuVector-powered signal processing
pipeline, and broadcasts processed sensing updates to browser clients via WebSocket. A built-in
static file server hosts the sensing UI on the same port.
The crate ships both a library (wifi_densepose_sensing_server) exposing the training and inference
modules, and a binary (sensing-server) that starts the full server stack.
Integrates wifi-densepose-wifiscan for multi-BSSID WiFi scanning per ADR-022 Phase 3.
Features
- UDP CSI ingestion -- Receives ESP32 CSI frames on port 5005 and parses them into the internal
CsiFramerepresentation. - Vital sign detection -- Pure-Rust FFT-based breathing rate (0.1--0.5 Hz) and heart rate (0.67--2.0 Hz) estimation from CSI amplitude time series (ADR-021).
- RVF container -- Standalone binary container format for packaging model weights, metadata, and
configuration into a single
.rvffile with 64-byte aligned segments. - RVF pipeline -- Progressive model loading with streaming segment decoding.
- Graph Transformer -- Cross-attention bottleneck between antenna-space CSI features and the
COCO 17-keypoint body graph, followed by GCN message passing (ADR-023 Phase 2). Pure
std, no ML dependencies. - SONA adaptation -- LoRA + EWC++ online adaptation for environment drift without catastrophic forgetting (ADR-023 Phase 5).
- Contrastive CSI embeddings -- Self-supervised SimCLR-style pretraining with InfoNCE loss, projection head, fingerprint indexing, and cross-modal pose alignment (ADR-024).
- Sparse inference -- Activation profiling, sparse matrix-vector multiply, INT8/FP16 quantization, and a full sparse inference engine for edge deployment (ADR-023 Phase 6).
- Dataset pipeline -- Training dataset loading and batching.
- Multi-BSSID scanning -- Windows
netshintegration for BSSID discovery viawifi-densepose-wifiscan(ADR-022). - WebSocket broadcast -- Real-time sensing updates pushed to all connected clients at
ws://localhost:8765/ws/sensing. - Static file serving -- Hosts the sensing UI on port 8080 with CORS headers.

Quick Start
# Build the server
cargo build -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server
# Run with default settings (HTTP :8080, UDP :5005, WS :8765)
cargo run -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server
# Run with custom ports
cargo run -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server -- \
--http-port 9000 \
--udp-port 5005 \
--static-dir ./ui
Using as a library
use wifi_densepose_sensing_server::vital_signs::VitalSignDetector;
// Create a detector with 20 Hz sample rate
let mut detector = VitalSignDetector::new(20.0);
// Feed CSI amplitude samples
for amplitude in csi_amplitudes.iter() {
detector.push_sample(*amplitude);
}
// Extract vital signs
if let Some(vitals) = detector.detect() {
println!("Breathing: {:.1} BPM", vitals.breathing_rate_bpm);
println!("Heart rate: {:.0} BPM", vitals.heart_rate_bpm);
}
