|abstract = As a representative technology of low power wide area network, LoRa has been widely adopted to many appli-cations. A fundamental question in LoRa is how to improve its reception quality in ultra-low SNR scenarios. Different from existing studies that exploit either spatial or temporal correlation for LoRa reception recovery, this paper jointly leverages the fine-grained spatial-temporal correlation among multiple gateways. We exploit the spatial and temporal correlation in LoRa packets to jointly process received signals so that the fine-grained offsets including Central Frequency Offset (CFO), Sampling Time Offset (STO) and Sampling Frequency Offset (SFO) are well compensated, and signals from multiple gateways are combined coherently. Moreover, a deep learning based soft decoding scheme is developed to integrate the energy distribution of each symbol into the decoder to further enhance the coding gain in a LoRa packet. We evaluate our work with commodity LoRa devices (i.e., Semtech SX1278) and gateways (i.e., USRP-B210) in both indoor and outdoor environments. Extensive experiment results show that our work achieves 4.6dB higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and 1.5× lower bit error rate (BER) compared with existing approaches.  
|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 = This paper proposes Mandheling, the first system that enables highly resource-efficient on-device training by orchestrating the mixed-precision training with on-chip Digital Signal Processing (DSP) offloading. Mandheling fully explores the advantages of DSP in integer-based numerical calculation by four novel techniques: (1) a CPU-DSP co-scheduling scheme to mitigate the overhead from DSP-unfriendly operators; (2) a self-adaptive rescaling algorithm to reduce the overhead of dynamic rescaling in backward propagation; (3) a batch-splitting algorithm to improve the DSP cache efficiency; (4) a DSP-compute subgraph reusing mechanism to eliminate the preparation overhead on DSP. We have fully implemented Mandheling and demonstrated its effectiveness through extensive experiments. The results show that, compared to the state-of-the-art DNN engines from

TFLite and MNN, Mandheling reduces the per-batch training time by 5.5× and the energy consumption by 8.9× on average. In end-to-end training tasks, Mandheling reduces up to 10.7× convergence time and 13.1× energy consumption, with only 1.9%–2.7% accuracy loss compared to the FP32 precision setting.

|abstract = Vehicular edge computing (VEC) is a promising paradigm based on the Internet of vehicles to provide computing resources for end users and relieve heavy traffic burden for cellular networks. In this paper, we consider a VEC network with dynamic topologies, unstable connections and unpredictable movements. Vehicles inside can offload computation tasks to available neighboring VEC clusters formed by onboard resources, with the purpose of both minimizing system energy consumption and satisfying task latency constraints. For online task scheduling, existing researches either design heuristic algorithms or leverage machine learning, e.g., deep reinforcement learning (DRL). However, these algorithms are not efficient enough because of their low searching efficiency and slow convergence speeds for large-scale networks. Instead, we propose an imitation learning enabled online task scheduling algorithm with near-optimal performance from the initial stage. Specially, an expert can obtain the optimal scheduling policy by solving the formulated optimization problem with a few samples offline. For online learning, we train agent policies by following the expert’s demonstration with an acceptable performance gap in theory. Performance results show that our solution has a significant advantage with more than 50 percent improvement compared with the benchmark.

    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.
