Diagnosed against real 2-node mesh data: the occupancy-blind bimodality is NOT a subcarrier-width artifact (frames are a fixed width at any instant) nor a transmitter/RSSI split (RSSI is identical across modes). It is a *frame-structure* split — promiscuous capture interleaves ~50% structureless "null" frames (near-constant amplitude vectors, spatial CoV² ≈ 0) with real CSI frames (CoV² ~0.4) at the SAME width and RSSI. Diffing a null frame against a real one in temporal_motion_score fabricates large fake "motion", which is what makes presence bimodal and occupancy-blind. Fix: a per-node adaptive gate (`admit_frame_structure`) admits a frame into the feature pipeline only if its spatial CoV² is >= DECONFOUND_FRACTION (0.1) of the node's rolling-P95 CoV². No brittle absolute threshold — it self-calibrates per node and is scale-invariant. Gates BOTH the global and per-node frame_history so the person-count fallback stays consistent too. Excluded frames are counted (`off_structure_frames`). Enabled by default; disable with SENSING_DECONFOUND=0. Supersedes the static-MAC `filter_mac` approach, which starved CSI on the mesh, and the modal-width gate, which is a no-op here (width is fixed at any instant). Tests (3): CoV² is zero for flat / large for structured / scale-invariant; the gate excludes null frames after warmup and counts them; and gating collapses the fabricated temporal motion of an alternating null/rich stream (>10x reduction). Full binary suite green (127 passed). Open: real-occupancy validation (does de-confounding make presence track people?) needs raw-frame capture through the running server — the recordings only preserve a processed amplitude, not raw frames, so it could not be confirmed offline yet.

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);
