|abstract = Many opportunistic routing (OR) schemes treat network nodes equally, neglecting the fact that the nodes close to the sink undertake more duties than the rest of the network nodes. Therefore, the nodes located at different positions should play different roles during the routing process. Moreover, considering various Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements, the routing decision in OR is affected by multiple network attributes. The majority of these OR schemes fail to contemplate multiple network attributes while making routing decisions. To address the aforesaid issues, this paper presents a novel protocol that runs in three steps. First, each node defines a Routing Zone (RZ) to route packets toward the sink. Second, the nodes within RZ are prioritized based on the competency value obtained through a novel model that employs Modified Analytic Hierarchy Process (MAHP) and Fuzzy Logic techniques. Finally, one of the forwarders is selected as the final relay node after forwarders coordination. Through extensive experimental simulations, it is confirmed that FLORA achieves better performance compared to its counterparts in terms of energy consumption, overhead packets, waiting times, packet delivery ratio, and network lifetime.
|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 = With the wide adoption of AI applications, there is a pressing need of enabling real-time neural network (NN) inference on small embedded devices, but deploying NNs and achieving high performance of NN inference on these small devices is challenging due to their extremely weak capabilities. Although NN partitioning and offloading can contribute to such deployment, they are incapable of minimizing the local costs at embedded devices. Instead, we suggest to address this challenge via agile NN offloading, which migrates the required computations in NN offloading from online inference to offline learning. In this paper, we present AgileNN, a new NN offloading technique that achieves real-time NN inference on weak embedded devices by leveraging eXplainable AI techniques, so as to explicitly enforce feature sparsity during the training phase and minimize the online computation and communication costs. Experiment results show that AgileNN's inference latency is >6X lower than the existing schemes, ensuring that sensory data on embedded devices can be timely consumed. It also reduces the local device's resource consumption by >8X, without impairing the inference accuracy.
|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 = Interoperability among a vast number of heterogeneous IoT nodes is a key issue. However, the communication among IoT nodes does not fully interoperate to date. The underlying reason is the lack of a lightweight and unified network architecture for IoT nodes having different radio technologies. In this paper, we design and implement TinyNet, a lightweight, modular, and unified network architecture for representative low-power radio technologies including 802.15.4, BLE, and LoRa. The modular architecture of TinyNet allows us to simplify the creation of new protocols by selecting specific modules in TinyNet. We implement TinyNet on realistic IoT nodes including TI CC2650 and Heltec IoT LoRa nodes. We perform extensive evaluations. Results show that TinyNet (1) allows interoperability at or above the network layer; (2) allows code reuse for multi-protocol co-existence and simplifies new protocols design by module composition; (3) has a small code size and memory footprint.
