| contents | We propose a WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) sensing framework for multi-station deployments that addresses two fundamental challenges in practical CSI sensing: station-wise feature missingness and limited labeled data. Feature missingness is commonly handled by resampling unevenly spaced CSI measurements or by reconstructing missing samples, while label scarcity is mitigated by data augmentation or self-supervised representation learning. However, these techniques are typically developed in isolation and do not jointly address long-term, structured station unavailability together with label scarcity. To bridge this gap, we explicitly incorporate station unavailability into both representation learning and downstream model training. Specifically, we adapt cross-modal self-supervised learning (CroSSL), a representation learning framework originally designed for time-series sensory data, to multi-station CSI sensing in order to learn representations that are inherently invariant to station-wise feature missingness from unlabeled data. Furthermore, we introduce Station-wise Masking Augmentation (SMA) during downstream model training, which exposes the model to realistic station unavailability patterns under limited labeled data. Our experiments show that neither missingness-invariant pre-training nor station-wise augmentation alone is sufficient; their combination is essential to achieve robust performance under both station-wise feature missingness and label scarcity. The proposed framework provides a practical and robust foundation for multi-station WiFi CSI sensing in real-world deployments. |
