Wireless sensing has demonstrated its potential of utilizing radio frequency (RF) signals to sense individuals and objects. Among different wireless signals, LoRa signal is particularly promising for through-wall sensing owing to its strong penetration capability. However, existing works view walls as a "bad" thing as they attenuate signal power and decrease the sensing coverage. In this paper, we show a counter-intuitive observation, i.e., walls can be used to increase the sensing coverage if the RF devices are p…
