|abstract = With the wide adoption of AI applications, there is a pressing need of enabling real-time neural network (NN) inference on small embedded devices, but deploying NNs and achieving high performance of NN inference on these small devices is challenging due to their extremely weak capabilities. Although NN partitioning and offloading can contribute to such deployment, they are incapable of minimizing the local costs at embedded devices. Instead, we suggest to address this challenge via agile NN offloading, which migrates the required computations in NN offloading from online inference to offline learning. In this paper, we present AgileNN, a new NN offloading technique that achieves real-time NN inference on weak embedded devices by leveraging eXplainable AI techniques, so as to explicitly enforce feature sparsity during the training phase and minimize the online computation and communication costs. Experiment results show that AgileNN's inference latency is >6X lower than the existing schemes, ensuring that sensory data on embedded devices can be timely consumed. It also reduces the local device's resource consumption by >8X, without impairing the inference accuracy.
|abstract = Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) have become one of the key techniques to provide long-range, low-power communication for large-scale devices in the Internet of Things. However, LPWAN devices in real deployments (e.g.,in buildings and basements) suffer from low-quality links due to signal attenuation, leading to coverage holes and significant deployment overhead. In this work, we propose Ostinato to enable communication for weak links and to enhance the coverage for real deployments of COTS LoRa. The key idea

of Ostinato is to transform the original packet to a pseudo packet with repeated symbols and to concentrate the energy of multiple symbols to enhance the signal SNR. To address practical challenges, we reverse engineer the entire coding and modulation process of LoRa and propose a method to generate repeated symbols on COTS LoRa by manipulating input data bits. Thus, Ostinato can be directly used for widely deployed LoRa nodes without hardware modification. We achieve weak packet detection, synchronization, and effective decoding on the receiver side by concentrating energy from multiple symbols with phase offsets. We implement Ostinato on Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform and extensively evaluate its performance. The evaluation results show that Ostinato achieves an 8.5 dB gain on receiving sensitivity and 2.88× gain on the coverage compared with COTS LoRa.

|abstract = Mobile robot-assisted book inventory such as book identification and book order detection has become increasingly popular in smart library, replacing the manual book inventory which is time-consuming and error-prone. The existing systems are either computer vision (CV)-based or RFID-based, however several limitations are inevitable. CV-based systems may not be able to identify books effectively due to low accuracy of detecting texts on book spine. RFID tags attached to books can be used to identify a book uniquely. However, in high tag density scenarios such as library, tag coupling effects of adjacent tags may seriously affect the accuracy of tag reading. To overcome these limitations, this paper presents a novel RFID and CV fusion system for Book Inventory using mobile robot (RC-BI). RFID and CV are first used individually to obtain book order, then the information will be fused by the sequence based matching algorithm to remove ambiguity and improve overall accuracy. Specifically, we address three technical challenges. We design a deep neural network (DNN) model with multiple inputs and mixed data to filter out interference of RFID tags on other tiers, and propose a video information extracting schema to extract book spine information accurately, and use strong link to align and match RFID- and CV-based timestamp vs. book-name sequences to avoid errors during fusion. Extensive experiments indicate that our system achieves an average accuracy of 98.4% for tier filtering and an average accuracy of 98.9% for book order, significantly outperforming the state-of-the-arts.
|abstract = Mobile crowd sensing (MCS) is a promising paradigm which leverages sensor-embedded mobile devices to collect and share data. The key challenging issues in designing an MCS system include selecting appropriate users to participate in a specific sensing task and designing efficient data sensing and transmission policies for data aggregation. In mobile edge networks, the limitation on network resources including bandwidth and energy affects the design of MCS significantly. Specifically, the limited resources affect whether and how to select users for a sensing task, and the bandwidth allocated to a user affects its data sensing and transmission policies. Since user selection, bandwidth allocation, data sensing and transmission are closely coupled issues in MCS, we focus on designing a unified framework for joint sensing and communication in this paper, by jointly optimizing the aforementioned four policies under resource constraints. Simulation results show that the proposed unified framework significantly outperforms several baseline solutions without considering wireless link vulnerability and/or resource limitations.
