|abstract = Barcodes and NFC have become the de facto standards in the field of automatic identification and data capture. These standards have been widely adopted for many applications, such as mobile payments, advertisements, social sharing, admission control, and so on. Recently, considerable demands require the integration of these two codes (barcode and NFC code) into a single tag for the functional complementation. To achieve the goal of "one tag, two codes" (OTTC), this work proposes CoilCode, which takes advantage of the printed electronics to fuse an NFC coil antenna into a QR code on a single layer. The proposed code could be identified by cameras and NFC readers. With the use of the conductive inks, QR code and NFC code have become an essential part of each other: the modules of the QR code facilitate the NFC chip in harvesting energy from the magnetic field, while the NFC antenna itself represents bits of the QR code. Compared to the prior dual-layer OTTC, CoilCode is more compact, cost-effective, flimsy, flexible, and environment-friendly, and also reduces the fabrication complexity considerably. We prototyped hundreds of CoilCodes and conducted comprehensive evaluations (across 4 models of NFC chips and 8 kinds of NFC readers under 13 different system configurations). CoilCode demonstrates high-quality identification results for QR code and NFC functions on a wide range of inputs and under different distortion effects.
|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 = Recently, increasing investments in satellite-related technologies make the low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation a strong complement to terrestrial networks. To mitigate the limitations of the traditional satellite constellation “bent-pipe” architecture, satellite edge computing (SEC) has been proposed by placing computing resources at the LEO satellite constellation. Most existing works focus on space-air-ground integrated network architecture and SEC computing framework. Beyond these works, we are the first to investigate how to efficiently deploy services on the SEC nodes to realize robustness aware service coverage with constrained resources. Facing the challenges of spatial-temporal system dynamics and service coverage-robustness conflict, we propose a novel online service placement algorithm with a theoretical performance guarantee by leveraging Lyapunov optimization and Gibbs sampling. Extensive simulation results show that our algorithm can improve the service coverage by 4.3× compared with the baseline.
|abstract =Large language models (LLMs) achieve superior performance in generative tasks. However, due to the natural gap between language model generation and structured information extraction in three dimensions: task type, output format, and modeling granularity, they often fall short in structured information extraction, a crucial capability for effective data utilization on the web. In this paper, we define the generation process of the language model as the controllable state transition, aligning the generation and extraction processes to ensure the integrity of the output structure and adapt to the goals of the information extraction task. Furthermore, we propose the Structure2Text decider to help the language model understand the fine-grained extraction information, which converts the structured output into natural language and makes state decisions, thereby focusing on the task-specific information kernels, and alleviating language model hallucinations and incorrect content generation. We conduct extensive experiments and detailed analyses on myriad information extraction tasks, including named entity recognition, relation extraction, and event argument extraction. Our method not only achieves significant performance improvements but also considerably enhances the model's capability to generate precise and relevant content, making the extracted content easy to parse.

|abstract = The edge-cloud system has the potential to combine the advantages of heterogeneous devices and truly realize ubiquitous computing. However, for service providers to guarantee the Service-Level-Agreement (SLA) priorities, the complex networked environment brings inherent challenges such as multi-resource heterogeneity, resource competition, and networked system dynamics. In this paper, we design a framework for the edge-cloud system, namely EdgeMatrix, to maximize the throughput while guaranteeing various SLA priorities. First, EdgeMatrix introduces Networked Multi-agent Actor-Critic (NMAC) algorithm to redefine physical resources as logically isolated resource combinations, i.e., resource cells. Then, we use a clustering algorithm to group the cells with similar characteristics into various sets, i.e., resource channels, for different channels can offer different SLA guarantees. Besides, we design a multi-task mechanism to solve the problem of joint service orchestration and request dispatch (JSORD) among edge-cloud clusters, significantly reducing the runtime than traditional methods. To ensure stability, EdgeMatrix adopts a two-time-scale framework, i.e., coordinating resources and services at the large time scale and dispatching requests at the small time scale. The real trace-based experimental results verify that EdgeMatrix can improve system throughput in complex networked environments, reduce SLA violations, and significantly reduce the runtime than traditional methods.
