Codecast uses physical layer capture on concurrent transmissions for high spatial reuse and a network-assisted network coding for high throughput as the core techniques. Our extensive evaluation in two large-scale testbed deployments (Indriya and Flocklab) shows that Codecast provides up to 4x the throughput of Chaos and 1.8x the throughput of LWB for many-to-many data communication. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of Codecast through a distributed channel selection mechanism and a link state based routing protocol.","PeriodicalId":358074,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122823804","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 order to maximize the throughput over dynamic fluctuations of wireless channel quality, current wireless systems adapt the link rate to the instantaneous channel condition, but fail to fully utilize the channel capacity due to the discrete choices of available link rates and the gap between these rates. Instead, in this paper we present vMod, a lightweight and practical solution towards maximum wireless network throughput by redesigning the wireless link rates from discrete to continuous. The key idea of vMod is to modulate a fractional number of data bits into each symbol by employing the Variable-Length Code (VLC), which is able to statistically yield any link rate. We implemented vMod on software-defined radio platforms. Experiment results demonstrate that under highly dynamic wireless network conditions, vMod greatly improves the WiFi throughput by 30% over a single narrowband link, but incurs only negligible overhead.","PeriodicalId":358074,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133254082","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}

To address these limitations, we formulate an optimisation problem with respect to time-varying utility under the given hardware constraints.

For robust and high performance in real environment, the most challenging issue is the detection and mitigation of noise from non-line-of-sight (NLOS) signals. Current researches use channel state information, particle or Kalman filter, and statistics based approaches for the NLOS noise detection and mitigation. These solutions show high accuracy in some applications; however, they need additional hardware and work in static environment only. We propose an NLOS mitigation algorithm that does not need any additional hardware andworks in dynamic environment with mobile obstacles. The main idea of the algorithm are to estimate the NLOS bias by repetitively comparing the intersection of the hyperbolas with intersections of circles. The proposed approach is tested for Decawave UWB testbed. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme works well in different dynamic scenarios as compared to the localization scheme without NLOS noise mitigation.","PeriodicalId":358074,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114769214","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}

We demonstrate this idea through an example application consisting of a camera and IoT devices with inertial sensors. As the user holds a device and moves it around, the camera captures the human's pose and compares it to the IoT device motion. If the motion features are similar enough, the device can be successfully paired to the camera's network.","PeriodicalId":358074,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114853581","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}

Unfortunately, there are some critical situations, i.e., patient's blood refluxing back into the saline tubing system, patients had to experience because of the observers' mistake due to their busy schedules. Nonetheless, the traditional method of supplying saline is also proven not accurate because the saline drop rate for a patient has been adjusted by looking at the drops falling speed in the drip chamber.
