Interest and research in the area has grown steadily over the past two decades\, and Wi-Fi sensing is now used in a wide range of applicatio ns\, including user presence detection\, space occupancy analytics\, and h ome security systems. Due to the significant and growing market interest i n the area\, a new IEEE 802.11 Task Group (IEEE 802.11bf) was recently for med to develop an amendment to the 802.11 standard that will enhance its a bility to support Wi-Fi sensing applications. This talk will begin with an introduction to wireless sensing systems and to Wi-Fi sensing. We will th en discuss the main definitions and features of the IEEE 802.11bf draft st andard.\n\nBio: Dr. Claudio da Silva is a Wireless Systems Engineer in the Reality Labs group of Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook) and is responsib le for the standardization of wireless connectivity technologies and for a dvancing Meta Platforms’ spectrum policy strategy.
