On the other hand, at present, the deployment of Wi-Fi networks is so advanced that a network can be found almost anywhere. In addition, security systems are more demanded and are implemented in many buildings. Thus, in order to provide a non intrusive presence detection system, in this manuscript, the development of a methodology is proposed which is able to detect human presence through the channel state information (CSI) of wireless communication networks based on the 802.11n standard. One of the main contributions of this standard is multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). This makes it possible to obtain channel state information for each subcarrier. In order to implement this methodology, an analysis and feature extraction in time-domain of CSI is carried out, and it is validated using different classification models trained through a series of samples that were captured in two different environments. The experiments show that the methodology presented in this manuscript obtains an average accuracy above 90%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23010500","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]],"date-time":"2023-01-02T04:51:22Z","timestamp":1672635082000},"page":"500","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["A Non Intrusive Human Presence Detection Methodology Based on Channel State Information of Wi-Fi Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3040-9862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos M.","family":"Mesa-Cantillo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Technological Development and Innovation in Communications, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2700-1591","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Technological Development and Innovation in Communications, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain"},{"name":"Telematic Engineering Department, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8487-2559","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Itziar","family":"Alonso-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Technological Development and Innovation in Communications, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain"},{"name":"Telematic Engineering Department, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7520-4468","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel A.","family":"Quintana-Su\u00e1rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Telematic Engineering Department, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0939-3045","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Ley-Bosch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Technological Development and Innovation in Communications, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain"},{"name":"Telematic Engineering Department, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7866-585X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jes\u00fas B.","family":"Alonso-Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Technological Development and Innovation in Communications, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain"},{"name":"Signal and Communications Department, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Nayak, R., Behera, M.M., Pati, U.C., and Das, S.K.
