Ultra-wideband (UWB) systems based on Channel State Information (CSI) estimate the position of mobile nodes within an environment by using Channel Impulse Responses(CIRs) of multiple stationary nodes. These contain spatial information caused by environment interactions such as reflections and scattering. To estimate positions from CSI of stationary nodes, we must transmit them to a centralized node. This introduces considerable communication overhead.
We present a large-scale study to determine whether CSI can be compressed into a small set of underlying latent variables that describe the most valuable information. We evaluate multiple neural network architectures containing encoding (compressing)and decoding (reconstructing) components and compare them to the state-of-the-art compression techniques Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). We show that fully connected autoencoders achieve the lowest error, outperforming both DCT and DWT. Further experiments prove that the reconstructed CSI can be used for positioning with only mild performance deterioration at a compression of >97% and even when trained on a different environment.
