|abstract=LoRa Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) has emerged as a dominant technology for Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). However, due to the ever-growing network size, packet collisions caused by concurrent transmissions have become a serious challenge in LoRa Wan.Existing studies have either ignored the issue by exploring only a few inaccurate features or addressed it using a complex receiver with up to eight antennas. To strike a better balance between implementation cost and system performance, we propose Hi 2 LoRa, which leverages highly dimensional and highly accurate features for LoRa concurrent decoding with only two receiving antennas. The feature dimensions are extended by exploring various types of hardware imperfections and channel state information inherent to each transceiver pair. To improve feature accuracy, low pass filters and BiLSTM networks are employed to trace and learn their temporal patterns. Additionally, an effective collision suppression strategy is introduced to combat feature corruption from other concurrent packets. Extensive evaluations on real-world testbeds show that the achievable concurrency in Hi2LoRa is either close to that of state-of-the-art approaches with much higher complexity (e.g., using eight antennas) or 2.7 x of prior work with comparable complexity (e.g., using two antennas).
|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=Centralized approaches for multi-robot coverage planning problems suffer from the lack of scalability. Learning-based distributed algorithms provide a scalable avenue in addition to bringing data-oriented feature generation capabilities to the table, allowing integration with other learning-based approaches. To this end, we present a learning-based, differentiable distributed coverage planner (D2CoP LAN ) which scales efficiently in runtime and number of agents compared to the expert algorithm, and performs on par with the classical distributed algorithm. In addition, we show that D2CoP LAN can be seamlessly combined with other learning methods to learn end-to-end, resulting in a better solution than the individually trained modules, opening doors to further research for tasks that remain elusive with classical methods.
|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.
