|abstract=Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes have been widely used for Forward Error Correction (FEC) in wireless networks because they can approach the capacity of wireless links with lightweight encoding complexity. Although LoRa networks have been developed for many applications, they still adopt simple FEC codes, i.e., Hamming codes, which provide limited FEC capacity, causing unreliable data transmissions and high energy consumption of LoRa nodes. To close this gap, this paper develops LLDPC, which realizes LDPC coding in LoRa networks. Three challenges are addressed. 1) LoRa employs Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) modulation, which only provides hard demodulation results without soft information. However, LDPC requires the Log-Likelihood Ratio (LLR) of each received bit for decoding. We develop an LLR extractor for LoRa CSS. 2) Some erroneous bits may have high LLRs (i.e., wrongly confident in their correctness), significantly affecting the LDPC decoding efficiency. We use symbol-level information to fine-tune the LLRs of some bits to improve the LDPC decoding efficiency. 3) Soft Belief Propagation (SBP) is typically used as the LDPC decoding algorithm. It involves heavy iterative computation, resulting in a long decoding latency, which prevents the gateway from sending timely an acknowledgment. We take advantage of recent advances in graph neural networks for fast belief propagation in LDPC decoding. Extensive simulations on a large-scale synthetic dataset and in-filed experiments reveal that LLDPC can extend the lifetime of the default LoRa by 86.7% and reduce the decoding latency of the SBP algorithm by 58.09×.
|abstract = Intermediate reasoning or acting steps have successfully improved large language models (LLMs) for handling various downstream natural language processing (NLP) tasks. When applying LLMs for code generation, recent works mainly focus on directing the models to articulate intermediate natural-language reasoning steps, as in chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting, and then output code with the natural language or other structured intermediate steps. However, such output is not suitable for code translation or generation tasks since the standard CoT has different logical structures and forms of expression with the code. In this work, we introduce the universal code (UniCode) as the intermediate representation. It is a description of algorithm steps using a mix of conventions of programming languages, such as assignment operator, conditional operator, and loop. Hence, we collect an instruction dataset UniCoder-Instruct to train our model UniCoder on multi-task learning objectives. UniCoder-Instruct comprises natural-language questions, code solutions, and the corresponding universal code. The alignment between the intermediate universal code representation and the final code solution significantly improves the quality of the generated code. The experimental results demonstrate that UniCoder with the universal code significantly outperforms the previous prompting methods by a large margin, showcasing the effectiveness of the structural clues in pseudo-code.

|abstract=Network update enables Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) to optimize the data plane performance. The single update focuses on processing one update event at a time, i.e. , updating a set of flows from their initial routes to target routes, but it fails to handle continuously arriving update events in time incurred by high-frequency network changes. On the contrary, the continuous update proposed in “Update Algebra” can handle multiple update events concurrently and respond to the network condition changes at all times. However, “Update Algebra” only guarantees the blackhole-free and loop-free update. The congestion-free property cannot be respected. In this paper, we propose Coeus to achieve the continuous update while maintaining consistency, i.e. , ensuring the blackhole-free, loop-free, and congestion-free properties simultaneously. Firstly, we establish the continuous update model based on the update operations in update events. With the update model, we dynamically reconstruct the operation dependency graph (ODG) to capture the relationship between update operations and link utilization variations. Then, we develop a composition algorithm to eliminate redundant operations in update events. To further speed up the update procedure, we present a partition algorithm to split the operation nodes of the ODG into a series of suboperation nodes that can be executed independently. The partition algorithm is proven to be optimal. Finally, extensive evaluations show that Coeus can improve the update speed by at least 179% and reduce redundant operations by at least 52% compared with state-of-the-art approaches when the arrival rate of update events equals three times per second.
|abstract =LoRaWANs are envisioned to connect billions of IoT devices through thousands of physically overlapping yet logically orthogonal channels (termed logical channels). These logical channels hold significant potential for enabling highly concurrent scalable IoT connectivity. Large-scale deployments however face strong interference between logical channels. This practical issue has been largely overlooked by existing works but becomes increasingly prominent as LoRaWAN scales up. To address this issue, we introduce Canas, an innovative gateway design that is poised to orthogonalize the logical channels by eliminating mutual interference. To this end, Canas develops a series of novel solutions to accurately extract the meta-information of individual ultra-weak LoRa signals from the received overlapping channels. The meta-information is then leveraged to accurately reconstruct and subtract the LoRa signals over thousands of logical channels iteratively. Real-world evaluations demonstrate that Canas can enhance concurrent transmissions across overlapping logical channels by 2.3× compared to the best known related works.

|abstract=With the reduced hardware costs of omnidirectional cameras and the proliferation of various extended reality applications, more and more 360° videos are being captured. To fully unleash their potential, advanced video analytics is expected to extract actionable insights and situational knowledge without blind spots from the videos. In this paper, we present OmniSense, a novel edge-assisted framework for online immersive video analytics. OmniSense achieves both low latency and high accuracy, combating the significant computation and network resource challenges of analyzing 360° videos. Motivated by our measurement insights into 360° videos, OmniSense introduces a lightweight spherical region of interest (SRoI) prediction algorithm to prune redundant information in 360° frames. Incorporating the video content and network dynamics, it then smartly scales vision models to analyze the predicted SRoIs with optimized resource utilization. We implement a prototype of OmniSense with commodity devices and evaluate it on diverse real-world collected 360° videos. Extensive evaluation results show that compared to resource-agnostic baselines, it improves the accuracy by 19.8% – 114.6% with similar end-to-end latencies. Meanwhile, it hits 2.0× – 2.4× speedups while keeping the accuracy on par with the highest accuracy of baselines.

|abstract=Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is widely used in high-performance computing (HPC) and data center networks. In this paper, we first show that RDMA does not work well with existing load balancing algorithms because of its traffic flow characteristics and assumption of in-order packet delivery. We then propose ConWeave, a load balancing framework designed for RDMA. The key idea of ConWeave is that with the right design, it is possible to perform fine granularity rerouting and mask the effect of out-of-order packet arrivals transparently in the network datapath using a programmable switch. We have implemented ConWeave on a Tofino2 switch. Evaluations show that ConWeave can achieve up to 42.3% and 66.8% improvement for average and 99-percentile FCT, respectively compared to the state-of-the-art load balancing algorithms.

|abstract =The rapid expansion of large language models (LLMs) requires the development of extensive GPU clusters, with companies deploying clusters with tens to hundreds of thousands of GPUs. This growth significantly expands the design space for LLM training systems, requiring thorough exploration of different parallelization strategies, communication parameters, congestion control, fabric topology, etc. Current methods require up to 10k simulation experiments to identify optimal configurations, with inadequate exploration leading to significant degradation of training performance. In this paper, we tackle the overlooked problem of efficiently conducting parallel simulation experiments for design space exploration. Our
