|abstract = LoRa is a promising technology that offers ubiquitous low-power IoT connectivity. With the features of multi-channel communication, orthogonal transmission, and spectrum sharing, LoRaWAN is poised to connect millions of IoT devices across thousands of logical channels. However, current LoRa gateways utilize hardwired Rx chains that cover only a small fraction (<1%) of the logical channels, limiting the potential for massive LoRa communications. This paper presents XGate, a novel gateway design that uses a single Rx chain to concurrently receive packets from all logical channels, fundamentally enabling scalable LoRa transmission and flexible network access. Unlike hardwired Rx chains in the current gateway design, XGate allocates resources including software-controlled Rx chains and demodulators based on the extracted meta information of incoming packets. XGate addresses a series of challenges to efficiently detect incoming packets without prior knowledge of their parameter configurations. Evaluations show that XGate boosts LoRa concurrent transmissions by 8.4× than state-of-the-art.
|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 = Deep learning training (DLT), e.g., large language model (LLM) training, has become one of the most important services in multitenant cloud computing. By deeply studying in-production DLT jobs, we observed that communication contention among different DLT jobs seriously influences the overall GPU computation utilization, resulting in the low efficiency of the training cluster. In this paper, we present Crux, a communication scheduler that aims to maximize GPU computation utilization by mitigating the communication contention among DLT jobs. Maximizing GPU computation utilization for DLT, nevertheless, is NP-Complete; thus, we formulate and prove a novel theorem to approach this goal by GPU intensity-aware communication scheduling. Then, we propose an approach that prioritizes the DLT flows with high GPU computation intensity, reducing potential communication contention. Our 96-GPU testbed experiments show that Crux improves 8.3% to 14.8% GPU computation utilization. The large-scale production trace-based simulation further shows that Crux increases GPU computation utilization by up to 23% compared with alternatives including Sincronia, TACCL, and CASSINI.
|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.
