Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for detecting the state of a device in a wireless communication environment, such as location detection and signal change detection, are inadequate for accurately determining the device's state in various scenarios due to changes in the channel environment.

Innovation Solution

A state detection method that involves obtaining channel metric data, determining channel change degree metric data, setting a state detection threshold based on both channel and environmental metric data using a mapping function, and comparing this threshold with the channel change degree metric data to determine the device's state, utilizing RSSI and CSI data for channel metrics and environmental data for scenario-specific adjustments.
