A Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) is a type of recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture that uses gating mechanisms — specifically reset and update gates — to selectively retain or discard information across sequential time steps, enabling effective modeling of temporal dependencies in time-series data. In WiFi/CSI sensing, GRUs are widely used to capture the dynamic temporal patterns inherent in CSI signal streams for tasks such as activity recognition, gesture detection, and localization, offering a computationally lighter alternative to the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network while achieving comparable performance. Key variants employed in the field include bidirectional GRUs, which process sequences in both forward and backward directions to enrich contextual representation, and hybrid architectures that combine GRUs with convolutional layers (CNN-GRU) to jointly extract spatial and temporal features from CSI data.
