|abstract=The massive connection of LoRa brings serious collision interference. Existing collision decoding methods cannot effectively deal with the adjacent collisions that occur when the collided symbols are adjacent in the frequency spectrum. The decoding features relied on by the existing methods will be corrupted by adjacent collisions. To address these issues, we propose Paralign, which is the first LoRa collision decoder supporting decoding LoRa collisions with confusing symbols via parallel alignment. The key enabling technology behind Paralign is tha there is no spectrum leakage with periodic truncation of a chirp. Paralign leverages the precise spectrum obtained by aligning the de-chirped periodic signals from each packet in parallel for spectrum filtering and power filtering. To aggregate correlation peaks in different windows of the same symbol, Paralign matches the peaks of multiple interfering windows to the interested window based on the time offset between collided packets. Moreover, a periodic truncation method is proposed to address the multiple candidate peak problem caused by side lobes of confusing symbols. We evaluate Paralign using USRP N210 in a 20-node network. Experimental results demonstrate that Paralign can significantly improve network throughput, which is over 1.46× higher than state-of-the-art methods.
|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=Human activity recognition is important for a wide range of applications such as surveillance systems and human-computer interaction. Computer vision based human activity recognition suffers from performance degradation in many real-world scenarios where the illumination is poor. On the other hand, recently proposed WiFi sensing that leverage ubiquitous WiFi signal for activity recognition is not affected by illumination but has low accuracy in dynamic environments. In this paper, we propose WiMix, a lightweight and robust multimodal system that leverages both WiFi and vision for human activity recognition. To deal with complex real-world environments, we design a lightweight mix cross attention module for automatic WiFi and video weight distribution. To reduce the system response time while ensuring the sensing accuracy, we design an end-to-end framework together with an efficient classifier to extract spatial and temporal features of two modalities. Extensive experiments are conducted in the real-world scenarios and the results demonstrate that WiMix achieves 98.5% activity recognition accuracy in 3 scenarios, which outperforms the state-of-the-art 89.6% sensing accuracy using WiFi and video modalities. WiMix can also reduce the inference latency from 1268.25ms to 217.36ms, significantly improving the response time.
|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=In wireless networks, the Named Data Networking (NDN) architecture maximizes contents’ availability throughout multiple network paths based on multicast-based communication combined with stateful forwarding and caching in intermediate nodes. Despite its benefits, the downside of the architecture resides in the packet flooding not efficiently prevented by current forwarding strategies and mainly associated with the native flooding of the architecture or malicious packets from Interest Flooding Attack (IFA). This work introduces iFLAT, a multicriteria-based forwarding strategy for i nterest FL ooding mitig AT ion on named data wireless networking. It follows a cross-layer approach that considers: (i) the Received Signal Strength (RSS) to adjust itself to the current status of the wireless network links, (ii) the network traffic ( meInfo ) to detect flooding issues and traffic anomalies, and (iii) a fake Interest Blacklist to identify IFA-related flooding. In doing so, the strategy achieves better efficiency on Interest flooding mitigation, addressing both native and IFA types of flooding. We evaluated the proposed strategy by reproducing a Flying Ad hoc Network (FANET) composed of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) featured by the NDN stack deployed in all nodes. Simulation results show that iFLAT can effectively detect and mitigate flooding, regardless of its origin or nature, achieving greater packet forwarding efficiency than competing strategies. In broadcast storm and IFA scenarios, it achieved 25.75% and 37.37% of traffic reduction, whereas Interest satisfaction rates of 16.36% and 51.78% higher, respectively.

|abstract=While recent work explored streaming volumetric content on-demand, there is little effort on live volumetric video streaming that bears the potential of bringing more exciting applications than its on-demand counterpart. To fill this critical gap, in this paper, we propose MetaStream, which is, to the best of our knowledge, the first practical live volumetric content capture, creation, delivery, and rendering system for immersive applications such as virtual, augmented, and mixed reality. To address the key challenge of the stringent latency requirement for processing and streaming a huge amount of 3D data, MetaStream integrates several innovations into a holistic system, including dynamic camera calibration, edge-assisted object segmentation, cross-camera redundant point removal, and foveated volumetric content rendering. We implement a prototype of MetaStream using commodity devices and extensively evaluate its performance. Our results demonstrate that MetaStream achieves low-latency live volumetric video streaming at close to 30 frames per second on WiFi networks. Compared to state-of-the-art systems, MetaStream reduces end-to-end latency by up to 31.7% while improving visual quality by up to 12.5%.
