IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing
IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing (TMC) is a scholarly archival journal published monthly that focuses on the key technical issues related to Mobile Computing. It is the intent of TMC to publish mature works of research, typically those that have appeared in part in conferences. Furthermore, it is the intent of TMC to focus on issues at the link-layer and above in wireless communications, and to focus only on topics explicitly or plausibly related to mobile systems.

We Can Hear You with Wi-Fi!
By Guanhua Wang, Yongpan Zou, Zimu Zhou, Kaishun Wu, and Lionel M. Ni
Recent literature advances Wi-Fi signals to "see" people's motions and locations. This paper asks the following question: Can Wi-Fi "hear" our talks? We present WiHear, which enables Wi-Fi signals to "hear" our talks without deploying any devices. To achieve this, WiHear needs to detect and analyze fine-grained radio reflections from mouth movements. WiHear solves this micro-movement detection problem by introducing Mouth Motion Profile that leverages partial multipath effects and wavelet packet transformation. Since Wi-Fi signals do not require line-of-sight, WiHear can “hear” people talks within the radio range. Further, WiHear can simultaneously "hear" multiple people's talks leveraging MIMO technology. We implement WiHear on both USRP N210 platform and commercial Wi-Fi infrastructure. Results show that within our pre-defined vocabulary, WiHear can achieve detection accuracy of 91 percent on average for single individual speaking no more than six words and up to 74 percent for no more than three people talking simultaneously. Moreover, the detection accuracy can be further improved by deploying multiple receivers from different angles.
