|abstract =Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) have been shown promising in connecting large-scale low-cost devices with low-power long-distance communication. However, existing LPWANs cannot work well for real deployments due to severe packet collisions. We propose OrthoRa, a new technology which significantly improves the concurrency for low-power long distance LPWAN transmission. The key of OrthoRa is a novel design, Orthogonal Scatter Chirp Spreading Spectrum (OSCSS), which enables orthogonal packet transmissions while providing low SNR communication in LPWANs. Different nodes can send packets encoded with different orthogonal scatter chirps, and the receiver can decode collided packets from different nodes. We theoretically prove that OrthoRa provides very high concurrency for low SNR communication under different scenarios. For real networks, we address practical challenges of multiple-packet detection for collided packets, scatter chirp identification for decoding each packet and accurate packet synchronization with Carrier Frequency Offset. We implement OrthoRa on HackRF One and extensively evaluate its performance. The evaluation results show that OrthoRa improves the network throughput and concurrency by 50⇥ compared with LoRa.
|abstract =Low-power wireless networks have the potential to enable applications that are of great importance to industry and society. However, existing network protocols do not meet the dependability requirements of many scenarios as the failure of a single node or link can completely disrupt communication and take significant time and energy to recover. This paper presents Hydra, a low-power wireless protocol that guarantees robust communication despite arbitrary node and link failures. Unlike most existing deterministic protocols, Hydra steers clear of centralized coordination to avoid a single point of failure. Instead, all nodes are equivalent in terms of protocol logic and configuration, performing coordination tasks such as synchronization and scheduling concurrently. This concept of concurrent coordination relies on a novel distributed consensus algorithm that yields provably unique decisions with low delay and energy overhead. In addition to a theoretical analysis, we evaluate Hydra in a multi-hop network of 23 nodes. Our experiments demonstrate that Hydra withstands random node failures without increasing coordination overhead and that it re-establishes efficient and reliable data exchange within seconds after a major disruption.

|abstract = Mobile edge computing is a promising computing paradigm enabling mobile devices to offload computation-intensive tasks to nearby edge servers. However, within small-cell networks, the user mobilities can result in uneven spatio-temporal loads, which have not been well studied by considering adaptive load balancing, thus limiting the system performance. Motivated by the data analytics and observations on a real-world user association dataset in a large-scale WiFi system, in this paper, we investigate the mobility-aware online task offloading problem with adaptive load balancing to minimize the total computation costs. However, the problem is intractable directly without prior knowledge of future user mobility behaviors and spatio-temporal computation loads of edge servers. To tackle this challenge, we transform and decompose the original task offloading optimization problem into two sub-problems, i.e., task offloading control ( ToC ) and server grouping ( SeG ). Then, we devise an online control scheme, named MOTO (i.e., M obility-aware O nline T ask O ffloading), which consists of two components, i.e., Long Short Term Memory based algorithm and Dueling Double DQN based algorithm, to efficiently solve the ToC and SeG sub-problems, respectively. Extensive trace-driven experiments are carried out and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of MOTO in reducing computational costs of mobile devices and achieving load balancing when compared to the state-of-the-art benchmarks.

|abstract = Edge computing capabilities in 5G wireless networks promise to benefit mobile users: computing tasks can be offloaded from user devices to nearby edge servers, reducing users’ experienced latencies. Few works have addressed how this offloading should handle long-term user mobility: as devices move, they will need to offload to different edge servers, which may require migrating data or state information from one edge server to another. In this paper, we introduce MoDEMS, a system model and architecture that provides a rigorous theoretical framework and studies the challenges of such migrations to minimize the service provider cost and user latency. We show that this cost minimization problem can be expressed as an integer linear programming problem, which is hard to solve due to resource constraints at the servers and unknown user mobility patterns. We show that finding the optimal migration plan is in general NP-hard, and we propose alternative heuristic solution algorithms that perform well in both theory and practice. We finally validate our results with real user mobility traces, ns-3 simulations, and an LTE testbed experiment. Migrations reduce the latency experienced by users of edge applications by 33% compared to previously proposed migration approaches.
|abstract = Low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite mega-constellations promise broadband, low-latency network infrastructure from space for terrestrial users in remote areas. However, they face new QoS bottlenecks from infrastructure mobility due to the fast-moving LEO satellites and earth’s rotations. Both cause frequent space-ground link churns and challenge the network latency, bandwidth, and availability at the global scale. Today’s LEO networks mask infrastructure mobility with fixed anchors (ground stations) but cause single-point bandwidth/latency bottlenecks. Instead, we design LBP to remove the LEO network’s QoS bottlenecks from infrastructure mobility. LBP removes remote terrestrial fixed anchors via geographic addressing for shorter latencies and more bandwidth. It adopts local, orbit direction-aware geographic routing to avoid global routing updates for high network availability. LBP further shortens the routing paths by refining handover policies by satellites’ orbital directions. Our experiments in controlled testbeds and trace-driven emulations validate LBP’s 1.64× network latency reduction, 9.66× more bandwidth, and improve network availability to 100%.
