Article Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the long-term effects of prenatal and early-life WIFI signal exposure on neurodevelopment and behaviors as well as biochemical alterations of Wistar rats. On the first day of pregnancy (E0), expectant rats were allocated into two groups: the control group (n = 12) and the WiFi-exposed group (WiFi group, n = 12). WiFi group was exposed to turn on WiFi for 24 h/day from E0 to postnatal day (PND) 42. The control group was exposed to turn-off WiFi at the same time. On PND7-42, we evaluated the development and behavior of the offspring, including body weight, pain threshold, and swimming ability, spatial learning, and memory among others. Also, levels of proteins involved in apoptosis were analyzed histologically in the hippocampus in response to oxidative stress. The results showed that WiFi signal exposure in utero and early life (1) increased the body weight of WiFi + M (WiFi + male) group; (2) no change in neuro-behavioral development was observed in WiFi group; (3) increased learning and memory function in WiFi + M group; (4) enhanced comparative levels of BDNF and p-CREB proteins in the hippocampus of WiFi + M group; (5) no neuronal loss or degeneration was detected, and neuronal numbers in hippocampal CA1 were no evidently differences in each group; (6) no change in the apoptosis-related proteins (caspase-3 and Bax) levels; and (7) no difference in GSH-PX and SOD activities in the hippocampus. Prenatal WiFi exposure has no effects on hippocampal CA1 neurons, oxidative equilibrium in brain, and neurodevelopment of rats. Some effects of prenatal WiFi exposure are sex dependent. Prenatal WiFi exposure increased the body weight, improved the spatial memory and learning function, and induced behavioral hyperactivity of male rats.

This paper presents the development of a time-synchronised wireless vision sensor network using the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The sensor network, named the flexible vision network (FVN), offers significant advantages over existing wired or wireless time-synchronised vision sensor networks. These advantages include: 1) spatial flexibility, with no distance limitations between sensor nodes imposed by Ethernet cables or WiFi communication, 2) scalability in the number of nodes due to its independent time-sync operation based on satellites without any time-sync interaction with other nodes, and 3) straightforward time synchronisation with other heterogeneous sensor systems, such as accelerometers or dynamic strain systems, due to its independent time-sync operation providing an absolute time reference.

Wi-Fi sensing is an innovative technology that enables numerous human-related applications. Among these, Wi-Fi based person re-identification (Re-ID) is an emerging research topic aiming to address well-known challenges related to traditional vision-based methods, such as occlusions or illumination changes. This approach can serve as either an alternative or a supplementary solution to those conventional techniques.

In multi-user wireless communication scenarios, signal degradation caused by channel fading and co-channel interference restricts system capacity, while traditional enhancement schemes face challenges of high coordination complexity and hardware integration. This paper proposes an electromagnetic focusing method using a single-layer transmissive passive metasurface. A high-efficiency metasurface array is fabricated based on PCB technology, which utilizes subwavelength units for wide-range phase modulation to construct a multi-user energy convergence model in the WiFi band.

In recent years, indoor user identification via Wi-Fi signals has emerged as a vibrant research area in smart homes and the Internet of Things, thanks to its privacy preservation, immunity to lighting conditions, and ease of large-scale deployment. Conventional deep-learning classifiers, however, suffer from poor generalization and demand extensive pre-collected data for every new scenario. To overcome these limitations, we introduce SimID, a few-shot Wi-Fi user recognition framework based on identity-similarity learning rather than conventional classification.

As the demand for context-aware services in smart environments continues to rise, Indoor Positioning Systems (IPSs) have evolved from auxiliary technologies into indispensable components of mission-critical infrastructure. This paper presents a comprehensive, multidimensional evaluation of IPSs through the lens of critical infrastructure, addressing both their technical capabilities and operational limitations across dynamic indoor environments. A structured taxonomy of IPS technologies is developed based on sensing modalities, signal processing techniques, and system architectures.
