In recent work, deep learning (DL) methods have been demonstrated effective in dealing with non- linear issues from multi-path interference to motion disturbance, thus improving the accuracy of RF-based respiration monitoring. However, such DL methods usually require large amounts of train- ing data with intensive manual labeling efforts, and frequently not openly available. We propose RF-Q for robust RF-based respiration monitoring, using self-supervised learning with an autoencoder (AE) neural network to quantify the quality of respiratory signal based on the residual between the original and reconstructed sig- nals. We demonstrate that, by simply quantifying the signal quality with AE for weighted estimation we can boost the end-to-end (e2e) respiration monitoring accuracy by an improvement ratio of 2.75 compared to a baseline.}, year = {2023}, journal = {ACM/IEEE International Conference on Connected Health: Applications, Systems and Engineering Technologies}, month = {01}, url = {https://par.nsf.gov/biblio/10439763}, }
