Abstract

In a general aspect, motion is detected using wireless signals. In an example, a method includes receiving first motion detection output data representing a degree of motion detected by a wireless sensing system based on wireless signals exchanged in a wireless communication network. The wireless communication network includes a first access point device and a first client device communicatively coupled by a first wireless communication link. The method also includes receiving network information indicative of a network topology of the wireless communication network, and generating a first control signal configured to change a characteristic of the first wireless communication link based on the first motion detection output data and network information. The method further includes receiving second motion detection output data representing a degree of motion detected by the wireless sensing system after the characteristic of the first wireless communication link has changed in response to the first control signal.
