CSI-Agent: LLM-Assisted Few-Shot Adaptation for Cross-Domain Wi-Fi CSI Sensing

Abstract:Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI) has enabled device-free sensing applications such as human activity recognition. However, CSI sensing models remain brittle in cross-domain deployment, where changes in users or environments can produce incorrect predictions. Existing solutions usually treat this problem as an offline model-design problem, by pretraining a stronger representation or applying one fixed adaptation method to the entire target domain. In practice, labeled target data are scarce and different classes may fail in different ways under the same domain shift. To address this, we propose CSI-Agent, an evidence-seeking LLM agent that reformulates cross-domain CSI adaptation as a deployment-time decision-making problem. Rather than processing raw CSI or making sample-level predictions, CSI-Agent summarizes target-domain behavior into sensing-grounded class-level evidence. It establishes a strong target-adaptive default from complementary CSI views and uses an LLM planner to determine whether each class should retain the default or invoke a specialized action. Deterministic verification and bounded execution further reduce unreliable interventions. We evaluate CSI-Agent on four public datasets using five cross-domain splits covering device, user, environment, and compositional shifts. Under 1-shot adaptation, CSI-Agent achieves the best target-domain performance across all splits and improves the average Macro-F1 by about 16\% compared to the strongest baseline method.
