• Abstract: Recently, with the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT), WiFi CSI-based HAR has gained increasing attention from academic and industry communities. By integrating the deep learning technology with CSI-based HAR, researchers achieve state-of-the-art performance without the need of expert knowledge. However, the scarcity of labeled CSI data remains the most prominent challenge when applying deep learning models in the context of CSI-based HAR due to the privacy and incomprehensibility of CSI-based HAR data. On the other hand, SSL has emerged as a promising approach for learning meaningful representations from data without heavy reliance on labeled examples. Therefore, considerable efforts have been made to address the challenge of insufficient data in deep learning by leveraging SSL algorithms. In this paper, we undertake a comprehensive inventory and analysis of the potential held by different categories of SSL algorithms, including those that have been previously studied and those that have not yet been explored, within the field. We provide an in-depth investigation of SSL algorithms in the context of WiFi CSI-based HAR. We evaluate four categories of SSL algorithms using three publicly available CSI HAR datasets, each encompassing different tasks and environmental settings. To ensure relevance to real-world applications, we design performance metrics that align with specific requirements. Furthermore, our experimental findings uncover several limitations and blind spots in existing work, highlighting the barriers that need to be addressed before SSL can be effectively deployed in real-world WiFi-based HAR applications. Our results also serve as a practical guideline for industry practitioners and provide valuable insights for future research endeavors in this field.
