Abstract

Continual Wi-Fi sensing must balance plasticity, learning new rooms or users, against stability, keeping earlier ones, yet nodes often cannot retain channel state information (CSI) for privacy and storage reasons. We propose WiMoT (Wi-Fi Moment Transport), which stores the per-class feature mean and covariance of every earlier domain instead of samples. When the representation changes, stored statistics become stale. WiMoT restricts the change to an affine map on a frozen feature basis and applies the same map to the statistics, so they stay valid without old samples. Supervised contrastive learning learns the new domain, a closed-form loss on the stored statistics keeps earlier classes separable, and a Gaussian discriminant classifier, refitted from the transported statistics with equal weight per domain, predicts without domain identity. On 3DO, WiMANS, and Widar3.0, WiMoT's average final accuracies are 94.02%, 89.61%, and 95.16% with at most 0.58 percentage points (pp) of forgetting. On 3DO and Widar3.0, it also has the highest balance of new- and earlier-domain accuracy and is 3.77 and 13.11 pp ahead of the strongest of 21 baselines, which uses replay, staying ahead across domain orders and label budgets. On WiMANS, it matches the strongest replay baseline in accuracy (+0.41 pp) while reducing forgetting from 2.78 to 0.00 pp, and has the highest six-order average accuracy. Because full covariances dominate the memory, storing them as rank-32 factors shrinks the moment memory to 6.4%, losing at most 0.49 pp of accuracy, within edge-node storage budgets.
