It has the potential to help create a new type of infrastructure, an Internet of Lights (IoL), where LED- based devices (e.g., car lights, city lights, billboards, toy, etc) and photodetectors become inter- connected. OpenVLC is built upon an embedded platform and adopts off-the-shelf optical devices and essential electronic components. It has been proved to be a starter kit for VLC research, thanks to its deployments by tens of top universities/research centers in the world (www.openvlc.org/list-of-users.html). This demo introduces its latest version: OpenVLC1.1. The new features include: (1) higher resilience to ambient light noise, e.g., indoor interfering lighting; (2) interface for sensor application. A new board (OpenVLC1.1 cape) is designed and the printed circuit is developed. The cape is plugged directly into the main embedded board and external sensors can be easily connected to the cape. This demo demonstrates OpenVLC1.1's networking performance through standard networking diagnostic tools and shows an application wherein temperature and humidity sensed data are transmitted through VLC links.","PeriodicalId":137855,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131649250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Frequently replacing the battery of a sensor that is located in a remote mountainous area is not practical. In this study we examine the newly-introduced wireless debris flow sensor, SMARTCONE, which is designed to minimize the standby power consumption, but still keep alert to detecting debris flow. During standby periods, SMARTCONE turns off all major components and uses an accelerometer to sense vibration generated by moving debris flow, and it wakes up SMARTCONE for collecting the parameters of a moving debris flow. Multiple SMARTCONEs need to change operation modes between standby and wake up, collect physical parameters, and transmit data simultaneously, and these issues are kept in mind while designing the system. The performance of vibration detection, data transmission and records of GPS trajectories are evaluated to ensure the accuracy of the design.","PeriodicalId":137855,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124926462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important issue with this technique is that a large amount of sensor nodes are usually deployed in localization environments, causing high deployment cost, high computation complexity and other drawbacks. To reduce the number of nodes while maintaining high localization accuracy, this paper proposes a fingerprint-based node deployment mechanism, which saves hardware cost, speeds up node deployment process as well as maintains a similar accuracy. The experiments are conducted in two environments with considerably different sizes of 150 m2 and 25 m2. Maintaining the accuracies above 95%, the proposed mechanism can efficiently reduce the total number of nodes in large room by 54.55% and in small room by 68.75%. Especially, the localization response time sharply reduces by 93.08% in the large room and 79.87% in the small room.","PeriodicalId":137855,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114713190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present LocaLight: a battery-free indoor localization system that localizes objects using visible light by tracking the shadow they cast. By sensing a drop in the intensity of ambient light caused by the presence of a shadow, LocaLight localizes the object. Since the position of the shadow can be predicted, it is possible to localize the object in a sensitive area by carefully positioning the light sensors and the overhead lights. Our initial results suggest that LocaLight achieves an accuracy comparable to many of the state-of-the art solutions that use RF.","PeriodicalId":137855,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115823023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is critical that the gains in inference accuracy that deep models afford become embedded in future generations of mobile apps. In this work, we present the design and implementation of DeepX, a software accelerator for deep learning execution. DeepX signif- icantly lowers the device resources (viz. memory, computation, energy) required by deep learning that currently act as a severe bottleneck to mobile adoption. The foundation of DeepX is a pair of resource control algorithms, designed for the inference stage of deep learning, that: (1) decompose monolithic deep model network architectures into unit- blocks of various types, that are then more efficiently executed by heterogeneous local device processors (e.g., GPUs, CPUs); and (2), perform principled resource scaling that adjusts the architecture of deep models to shape the overhead each unit-blocks introduces. Experiments show, DeepX can allow even large-scale deep learning models to execute efficently on modern mobile processors and significantly outperform existing solutions, such as cloud-based offloading.","PeriodicalId":137855,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115565146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In low power forwarding, however, the asynchronous nature of widely adopted duty-cycled radio control brings new challenges to achieve accurate and real- time estimation. First, the repeatedly transmitted frames (called wake-up frame) increase the complexity of accurate statistic, especially with bursty channel contention and coexistent interference. Second, frequent update of every link status exhausts the limited energy supply due to long duration of beacon broadcast. In this paper, we propose meter (Distributed Frame Counter), which takes the opportunities of link overhearing to update link status in real time. Furthermore, meter does not only depend on counting the successfully decoded wake-up frames, but also counts the corrupted ones by exploiting the feasibility of ZigBee identification based on short-term sequence of the received signal strength. We implement meter in TinyOS and further evaluate the performance through extensive experiments on indoor and outdoor testbeds. The results demonstrate that meter can significantly improve the performance of the state-of-the-art link estimation schemes.","PeriodicalId":137855,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127194236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
