|abstract=We develop a Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) method to learn scalable control policies for target tracking. Our method can handle an arbitrary number of pursuers and targets; we show results for tasks consisting up to 1000 pursuers tracking 1000 targets. We use a decentralized, partially-observable Markov Decision Process framework to model pursuers as agents receiving partial observations (range and bearing) about targets which move using fixed, unknown policies. An attention mechanism is used to parameterize the value function of the agents; this mechanism allows us to handle an arbitrary number of targets. Entropy-regularized off-policy RL methods are used to train a stochastic policy, and we discuss how it enables a hedging behavior between pursuers that leads to a weak form of cooperation in spite of completely decentralized control execution. We further develop a masking heuristic that allows training on smaller problems with few pursuers-targets and execution on much larger problems. Thorough simulation experiments and comparisons to state of the art algorithms are performed to study the scalability of the approach and robustness of performance to varying numbers of agents and targets.

|abstract=With the popularity of LED infrastructure and the camera on smartphone, LED-Camera visible light communication (VLC) has become a realistic and promising technology. However, the existing LED-Camera VLC has limited throughput due to the sampling manner of camera. In this paper, by introducing a polarization dimension, we propose a hybrid modulation scheme with LED and polarization signals to boost throughput. Nevertheless, directly mixing LED and polarized signals may suffer from channel conflict. We exploit well-designed packet structure and Symmetric Return-to-Zero Inverted (SRZI) coding to overcome the conflict. In addition, in the demodulation of hybrid signal, we alleviate the noise caused by polarization on the LED signals by polarization background subtraction. We further propose a pixel-free approach to correct the perspective distortion caused by the shift of view angle by adding polarizers around the liquid crystal array. We build a prototype of this hybrid modulation scheme using off-the-shelf optical components. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the hybrid modulation scheme can achieve reliable communication, achieving 13.4 kbps throughput, which is 400 % of the existing state-of-the-art LED-Camera VLC.
|abstract = Visible light communication (VLC) has become an important complementary means to electromagnetic communications due to its freedom from interference. However, existing Internet-of-Things (IoT) VLC links can reach only <10 meters, which has significantly limited the applications of VLC to the vast and diverse scenarios. In this paper, we propose ChirpVLC, a novel modulation method to prolong VLC distance from ≤10 meters to over 100 meters. The basic idea of ChirpVLC is to trade throughput for prolonged distance by exploiting Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) modulation. Specifically, 1) we modulate the luminous intensity as a sinusoidal waveform with a linearly varying frequency and design different spreading factors (SF) for different environmental conditions. 2) We design range adaptation scheme for luminance sensing range to help receivers achieve better signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). 3) ChirpVLC supports many-to-one and non-line-of-sight communications, breaking through the limitations of visible light communication. We implement ChirpVLC and conduct extensive real-world experiments. The results show that ChirpVLC can extend the transmission distance of 5W COTS LEDs to over 100 meters, and the distance/energy utility is increased by 532% compared to the existing work.

  1. [SIGCOMM'24] In-Network Address Caching for Virtual Networks, Dongting
    Abstract: Packet routing in virtual networks requires virtual-to-physical address translation. The address mappings are updated by a single party, i.e., the network administrator, but they are read by multiple devices across the network when routing tenant packets. Existing approaches face an inherent read-write performance tradeoff: they either store these mappings in dedicated gateways for fast updates at the cost of slower forwarding or replicate them at end-hosts and suffer from slow updates.SwitchV2P aims to escape this tradeoff by leveraging the network switches to transparently cache the address mappings while learning them from the traffic. SwitchV2P brings the mappings closer to the sender, thus reducing the first packet latency and translation overheads, while simultaneously enabling fast mapping updates, all without changing existing routing policies and deployed gateways. The topology-aware data-plane caching protocol allows the switches to transparently adapt to changing network conditions and varying in-switch memory capacity.Our evaluation shows the benefits of in-network address mapping, including an up to 7.8× and 4.3× reduction in FCT and first packet latency respectively, and a substantial reduction in translation gateway load.
