Interest and research in the area has grown steadily o ver the past two decades\, and Wi-Fi sensing is now used in a wide range o f applications\, including user presence detection\, space occupancy analy tics\, and home security systems. Due to the significant and growing marke t interest in the area\, a new IEEE 802.11 Task Group (IEEE 802.11bf) was recently formed to develop an amendment to the 802.11 standard that will e nhance its ability to support Wi-Fi sensing applications. This talk will b egin with an introduction to wireless sensing systems and to Wi-Fi sensing . We will then discuss the main definitions and features of the IEEE 802.1 1bf draft standard.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Hawaii Technology Development Corp (HTDC)\, Entrepreneurs Sandbox\, and Hub Coworking\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. da Silva\, \n\nAgenda: \nDr. Claudio da Silva will be presenting this talk in person. He is in Honolulu this week for the IEEE 802.11bf Task Group.\n\n The draft 802.11bf standard will enable Wi-Fi to sense (detect) people and activities in its environment. This will enable a new class of Wi-Fi appl ications.\n\nBio: Dr. Claudio da Silva is a Wireless Systems Engineer in t he Reality Labs group of Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook) and is respons ible for the standardization of wireless connectivity technologies and for advancing Meta’s spectrum policy strategy. He also serves as the Techni cal Editor of IEEE 802.11bf (WLAN Sensing)\, a task group currently develo ping an IEEE 802.11 amendment that enhances Wi-Fi sensing technology\, and as an IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer for the 2022-2023 term.\n\nBefor e joining Meta Platforms\, Dr. da Silva was with the Next Generation & Sta ndards group of Intel Corporation\, where he was responsible for driving t echnology and product innovation by leading and contributing to various st andardization\, certification\, and regulatory activities. During his tenu re at Intel\, he served as the Technical Editor of Wi-Fi Alliance's 60 GHz TTG from 2019 to 2021. Before Intel\, he worked on cellular modem impleme ntation and applied research at Samsung Mobile Solutions Lab. The first ye ars of his professional career were spent at Virginia Tech\, where he was an Assistant Professor in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Compute r Engineering.\n\nDr. da Silva received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from the State University of Campinas\, Brazil\, in 1999 and 2001\, respectively\, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of California\, San Diego in 200 5\, all in electrical engineering. He was an Editor for Modulation and Sig nal Design for the IEEE Transactions on Communications from 2012 to 2015\, and has served on the technical program committee of numerous IEEE confer ences in the communications area. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE.\n\nRo om: Purple Box\, Bldg: Entrepreneurs Sandbox\, 643 Ilalo St\, Honolulu\, H awaii\, United States\, 96813\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/ 372615 LOCATION:Room: Purple Box\, Bldg: Entrepreneurs Sandbox\, 643 Ilalo St\, Ho nolulu\, Hawaii\, United States\, 96813\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.i eee.org/m/372615 ORGANIZER:eugene.chang@ieee.org SEQUENCE:12 SUMMARY: Introduction to Wi-Fi sensing and the IEEE 802.11bf standard URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/372615 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The new Wi-Fi standard will enable new app lications to sense activity in their surroundings.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Wi-Fi se nsing is the use of Wi-Fi to enable everyday electronic devices to acquire information and become aware of their surroundings.
