|abstract = Unlike traditional data collection applications (e.g., environment monitoring) that are dominated by uplink transmissions, the newly emerging applications (e.g., device actuation, firmware update, packet reception acknowledgement) also pose ever-increasing demands on downlink transmission capabilities. However, current LoRaWAN falls short in supporting such applications primarily due to downlink-uplink asymmetry. While the uplink can concurrently receive multiple packets, downlink transmission is limited to a single logical channel at a time, which fundamentally hinders the deployment of downlink-hungry applications. To tackle this practical challenge, FDLoRa develops the first-of-its-kind in-band full-duplex LoRa gateway design with novel solutions to mitigate the impact of self-interference (i.e., strong downlink interference to ultra-weak uplink reception), which unleashes the full spectrum for in-band downlink transmissions without compromising the reception of weak uplink packets. Built upon the full-duplex gateways, FDLoRa introduces a new downlink framework to support concurrent downlink transmissions over multiple logical channels of available gateways. Evaluation results demonstrate that FDLoRa boosts downlink capacity by 5.7x compared to LoRaWAN on a three-gateway testbed and achieves 2.58x higher downlink concurrency per gateway than the 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 =Recent years have witnessed a widespread adoption of containers. While containers simplify and accelerate application development, existing container network technologies either incur significant overhead, which hurts performance for distributed applications, or lose flexibility or compatibility, which hinders the widespread deployment in production. We carefully analyze the kernel data path of an overlay network, quantifying the time consumed by each segment of the data path and identifying the extra overhead in an overlay network compared to bare metal. We observe that this extra overhead generates repetitive results among packets, which inspires us to introduce caches within an overlay network. We design and implement ONCache (Overlay Network Cache), a cache-based container overlay network, to eliminate the extra overhead while maintaining flexibility and compatibility. We implement ONCache using the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) with only 524 lines of code, and integrate it as a plugin of Antrea. With ONCache, containers attain networking performance akin to that of bare metal. Compared to the standard overlay networks, ONCache improves throughput and request-response transaction rate by 12% and 36% for TCP (20% and 34% for UDP), respectively, while significantly reducing per-packet CPU overhead. Popular distributed applications also benefit from ONCache.

|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: 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.
