|abstract = As a representative technology of low power wide area network, LoRa has been widely adopted to many appli-cations. A fundamental question in LoRa is how to improve its reception quality in ultra-low SNR scenarios. Different from existing studies that exploit either spatial or temporal correlation for LoRa reception recovery, this paper jointly leverages the fine-grained spatial-temporal correlation among multiple gateways. We exploit the spatial and temporal correlation in LoRa packets to jointly process received signals so that the fine-grained offsets including Central Frequency Offset (CFO), Sampling Time Offset (STO) and Sampling Frequency Offset (SFO) are well compensated, and signals from multiple gateways are combined coherently. Moreover, a deep learning based soft decoding scheme is developed to integrate the energy distribution of each symbol into the decoder to further enhance the coding gain in a LoRa packet. We evaluate our work with commodity LoRa devices (i.e., Semtech SX1278) and gateways (i.e., USRP-B210) in both indoor and outdoor environments. Extensive experiment results show that our work achieves 4.6dB higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and 1.5× lower bit error rate (BER) compared with existing approaches.  
|abstract = LoRa technology promises to enable Internet of Things applications over large geographical areas. However, its performance is often hampered by poor channel quality in urban environments, where blockage and multipath effects are prevalent. Our study uncovers that a slight shift in the position or attitude of the receiving antenna can substantially improve the received signal quality. This phenomenon can be attributed to the rich multipath characteristics of wireless signal propagation in urban environments, wherein even small antenna movement can alter the dominant signal path or reduce the polarization angular difference between transceivers. Leveraging these key observations, we propose and implement MoLoRa, an intelligent mobile antenna system designed to enhance LoRa packet reception. At its core, MoLoRa represents the position and attitude of an antenna as a state and employs a statistical optimization method to search for states that offer optimal signal quality efficiently. Through extensive evaluation, we demonstrate that MoLoRa achieves a maximum Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) gain of 13 dB in a few attempts, enabling formerly problematic blind spots to reconnect and strengthening links for other nodes.

|abstract = This paper proposes Mandheling, the first system that enables highly resource-efficient on-device training by orchestrating the mixed-precision training with on-chip Digital Signal Processing (DSP) offloading. Mandheling fully explores the advantages of DSP in integer-based numerical calculation by four novel techniques: (1) a CPU-DSP co-scheduling scheme to mitigate the overhead from DSP-unfriendly operators; (2) a self-adaptive rescaling algorithm to reduce the overhead of dynamic rescaling in backward propagation; (3) a batch-splitting algorithm to improve the DSP cache efficiency; (4) a DSP-compute subgraph reusing mechanism to eliminate the preparation overhead on DSP. We have fully implemented Mandheling and demonstrated its effectiveness through extensive experiments. The results show that, compared to the state-of-the-art DNN engines from

|abstract = Vehicular edge computing (VEC) is a promising paradigm based on the Internet of vehicles to provide computing resources for end users and relieve heavy traffic burden for cellular networks. In this paper, we consider a VEC network with dynamic topologies, unstable connections and unpredictable movements. Vehicles inside can offload computation tasks to available neighboring VEC clusters formed by onboard resources, with the purpose of both minimizing system energy consumption and satisfying task latency constraints. For online task scheduling, existing researches either design heuristic algorithms or leverage machine learning, e.g., deep reinforcement learning (DRL). However, these algorithms are not efficient enough because of their low searching efficiency and slow convergence speeds for large-scale networks. Instead, we propose an imitation learning enabled online task scheduling algorithm with near-optimal performance from the initial stage. Specially, an expert can obtain the optimal scheduling policy by solving the formulated optimization problem with a few samples offline. For online learning, we train agent policies by following the expert’s demonstration with an acceptable performance gap in theory. Performance results show that our solution has a significant advantage with more than 50 percent improvement compared with the benchmark.
