Abstract
A method includes receiving, by a first wireless device, first data indicative of channel properties of a first communication link between the first wireless device and a second wireless device, the first wireless device and the second wireless device being located in a same vicinity. The method further includes detecting, using a supervised machine learning (ML) model applied to the first data, human movement and presence of stationary objects within the same vicinity and activating, by the first wireless device in response to detection of the human movement, an ultrasonic signal. The method further includes receiving, by the first wireless device, a reflected component of the ultrasonic signal and confirming, by the first wireless device using the reflected component, presence of a human in the same vicinity.
