|abstract=LoRa has emerged as one of the promising long-range and low-power wireless communication technologies for Internet of Things (IoT). With the massive deployment of LoRa networks, the ability to perform Firmware Update Over-The-Air (FUOTA) is becoming a necessity for unattended LoRa devices. LoRa Alliance has recently dedicated the specification for FUOTA, but the existing solution has several drawbacks, such as low energy efficiency, poor transmission reliability, and biased multicast grouping. In this paper, we propose a novel energy-efficient, reliable, and beamforming-assisted FUOTA system for LoRa networks named FLoRa, which is featured with several techniques, including delta scripting, channel coding, and beamforming. In particular, we first propose a novel joint differencing and compression algorithm to generate the delta script for processing gain, which unlocks the potential of incremental FUOTA in LoRa networks. Afterward, we design a concatenated channel coding scheme to enable reliable transmission against dynamic link quality. The proposed scheme uses a rateless code as outer code and an error detection code as inner code to achieve coding gain. Finally, we design a beamforming strategy to avoid biased multicast and compromised throughput for power gain. Experimental results on a 20-node testbed demonstrate that FLoRa improves network transmission reliability by up to 1.51 × and energy efficiency by up to 2.65 × compared with the existing solution in LoRaWAN.
|abstract=Truck-drone systems, wherein trucks carrying drones drive to pre-planned positions and then free drones equipped with cameras to monitor a known number of objects with reported positions, have been used for various scenarios. An object's quality of monitoring (QoM) by a camera is defined as a function of camera focal length and monitoring distance. Improving the QoM would help downstream tasks, including object detection and recognition. The monitoring utility is the fusion of all the QoMs of an object from multiple cameras. This paper optimizes the D eployment O f T rucks A nd D rones for O bject monitoring (DOTADO) problem, i.e. , deploying a truck-drone system, where each drone is equipped with a varifocal camera, to maximize the overall monitoring utility for all objects. Firstly, we model the hybrid system and define monitoring quality and utility. Then, we discretize the solution space into deployment strategies with performance bound. To select deployment strategies, we prove the submodularity of the problem and propose a two-level greedy algorithm with a bounded approximation ratio. Finally, we devise an optimal method to adjust the strategy for energy saving and communication improvement without losing monitoring utility. We perform both simulations and field experiments to verify the proposed framework.

|abstract=As a promising infrastructure, edge storage systems have drawn many attempts to efficiently distribute and share data among edge servers. However, it remains open to meeting the increasing demand for similarity retrieval across servers. The intrinsic reason is that the existing solutions can only return an exact data match for a query while more general edge applications require the data similar to a query input from any server. To fill this gap, this paper pioneers a new paradigm to support high-dimensional similarity search at network edges. Specifically, we propose Prophet, the first known architecture for similarity data indexing. We first divide the feature space of data into plenty of subareas, then project both subareas and edge servers into a virtual plane where the distances between any two points can reflect not only data similarity but also network latency. When any edge server submits a request for data insert, delete, or query, it computes the data feature and the virtual coordinates; then iteratively forwards the request through greedy routing based on the forwarding tables and the virtual coordinates. By Prophet, similar high-dimensional features would be stored by a common server or several nearby servers. Compared with distributed hash tables in P2P networks, Prophet requires logarithmic servers to access for a data request and reduces the network latency from the logarithmic to the constant level of the server number. Experimental results indicate that Prophet achieves comparable retrieval accuracy and shortens the query latency by 55%~70% compared with centralized schemes.
|abstract=Short video streaming applications have recently gained substantial traction, but the non-linear video presentation they afford swiping users fundamentally changes the problem of maximizing user quality of experience in the face of the vagaries of network throughput and user swipe timing. This paper describes the design and implementation of Dashlet, a system tailored for high quality of experience in short video streaming applications. With the insights we glean from an in-the-wild TikTok performance study and a user study focused on swipe patterns, Dashlet proposes a novel out-of-order video chunk pre-buffering mechanism that leverages a simple, non machine learning-based model of users' swipe statistics to determine the pre-buffering order and bitrate. The net result is a system that outperforms TikTok by 28-101%, while also reducing by 30% the number of bytes wasted on downloaded video that is never watched.

    Abstract: Truck-drone systems, wherein trucks carrying drones drive to pre-planned positions and then free drones equipped with cameras to monitor a known number of objects with reported positions, have been used for various scenarios. An object's quality of monitoring (QoM) by a camera is defined as a function of camera focal length and monitoring distance. Improving the QoM would help downstream tasks, including object detection and recognition. The monitoring utility is the fusion of all the QoMs of an object from multiple cameras. This paper optimizes the D eployment O f T rucks A nd D rones for O bject monitoring (DOTADO) problem, i.e. , deploying a truck-drone system, where each drone is equipped with a varifocal camera, to maximize the overall monitoring utility for all objects.
