As the scope of IoT applications becomes wider, we observe a surge of missioncritical IoT services, e.g., industrial automation systems and medical IoT systems, requiring to satisfy stringent latency, reliability, and/or energy efficiency guarantees. For this purpose, a new MAC, called Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH), has been standardized in IEEE 802.15.4e. However, it is challenging to design a distributed scheduling protocol that achieves the required QoS and energy efficiency at the same time due to complicated tradeoff (providing enough number of slots for QoS vs. minimizing scheduled slots for energy efficiency). In this paper, we propose a novel framework for providing QoS, called SSAP, which is designed to maximize network lifetime in a distributed fashion while satisfying given reliability and latency requirements. To this end, we decompose our goal into two crucial design components: (i) scheduling of slot and channel, and (ii) control of medium access period, each of which is performed by low-complexity and distributed mechanisms. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first work to comprehensively handle multiple QoSes for TSCH-based IoT networks. We implement SSAP in Contiki OS and perform extensive simulations and real experiments under various scenarios. Our evaluation results demonstrate that SSAP satisfies highly reliable communication and latency requirements while having the network lifetime that is 1.6 times longer compared to existing protocols for TSCH.","PeriodicalId":439751,"journal":{"name":"2020 19th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130888587","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 contrast to single transmitter localization, multiple transmitter localization (MTL) has not been thoroughly studied. In shared spectrum systems, it is important to be able to localize simultaneously present multiple intruders to effectively protect a shared spectrum from malware-based, jamming, or other multi-device unauthorized-usage attacks. The key challenge in solving the MTL problem comes from the need to \"separate\" an aggregated signal received from multiple intruders into separate signals from individual intruders. Furthermore, in a shared spectrum paradigm, presence of an evolving set of authorized users (e.g., primary and secondary users) adds to the challenge.In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for the MTL problem based on the hypothesis-based Bayesian approach called MAP. Direct application of the MAP approach to the MTL problem incurs prohibitive computational and training cost. In this work, we develop optimized techniques based on MAP with significantly improved computational and training costs. In particular, we develop a novel interpolation method, ILDW, which helps minimize the training cost. We generalize our techniques via online-learning to the setting wherein there may be a set of dynamically-changing authorized users present in the background. We evaluate our developed techniques on large-scale simulations as well as on small-scale indoor and outdoor testbeds. Our experiments demonstrate that our technique outperforms the prior approaches by significant margins, i.e., error up to 74% less in large-scale simulations and 30% less in real-world testbeds.","PeriodicalId":439751,"journal":{"name":"2020 19th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121532105","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}

While existing works on intermittent computing systems concentrate preliminary on the lower level goals, e.g., execution progress and memory consistency [1], [3], [5], [6], [9], the potential of such systems under timing constraints is yet to be explored. Some applications of intermittent systems with timing constraints include monitoring wildlife, health, infrastructure and environmental conditions, pedestrian safety, indoor localization and occupancy detection. In this work, we schedule tasks on intermittent systems where tasks may have timing constraints.

The harvested energy signal contains embedded information about the underlying physical conditions and thus can be used to detect activities in various applications. In this study, we implement Kinetic Energy Harvesters (KEHs) as context sensors and source of energy simultaneously, to detect the underlying activity and to power sensor nodes in IoT.

In this abstract, we explore one possible approach that exploits a property of many fluorescent light sources used worldwide: their brightness changes with double the power line frequency. We design a circuit that transforms the corresponding changes in energy harvested with a solar panel into a digital signal that is frequency- and phase-synchronized across multiple devices. Based on our design, we build a novel batteryless node, called Flync.

It is hard to maintain an update-to-date fine-grained radio map within a large area, since the radio map changes rapidly due to the internal and external factors. Previous studies usually relied on time-consuming site surveys at densely predefined reference points, leading to either coarse-grained or out-of-date radio maps. In this paper, we propose a fine-grained radio map reconstruction framework, called Supreme, based on crowd-sourced data in an image super-resolution manner. Specifically, Supreme explores spatial-temporal relationships in historical coarse-grained radio maps and builds a real-time fine-grained radio map using deep spatial-temporal reconstruction networks. Furthermore, a heterogeneous data fusion module is devised to make full use of external information. To evaluate the performance of Supreme, we conduct extensive experiments and ablation studies on a large-scale dataset with a total of six-month data collected from two university campuses. Besides, we investigate the transferability of Supreme in different locations and service networks, showing that the fine-tuned model can largely reduce the training time and achieve better performance. Experimental results demonstrate that our model outperforms state-of-the-art baselines and a case study on the localization is enhanced with marginal improvements on accuracy.","PeriodicalId":439751,"journal":{"name":"2020 19th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123038754","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}

With the growing privacy concerns and regulations, it is necessary to develop methods and systems that can be low-power, device-free as well as privacy-aware. While IR-based solutions fit the bill, they require many modules to be installed in the area of interest for higher accuracy, or proper planning during installation, or they may not work if the background has multiple heat-emitting objects, etc. In this paper, we propose a custom-built miniature device called LOCI that uses IR sensing. One unit of LOCI can provide three-dimensional localization at best. LOCI uses only a thermopile and a PIR sensor built within a 5x5x2 cm3 module. Since IR-based sensing is used, LOCI consumes around 80 mW. LOCI uses analog waveform from the PIR sensor with the gain of the PIR sensor dynamically controlled through software in real-time to simulate spatial diversity. LOCI proposes low-complexity techniques with sensor fusion to eliminate the noise in the background, which has not been handled in previous works even with sophisticated signal processing techniques. Since LOCI uses raw data from the thermopile, the computations are power-efficient. We present the complete design of LOCI and the proposed methodology to estimate height and location. LOCI achieves accuracies of sub-22 cm with a confidence of 0.5 and sub-35 cm with a confidence of 0.8. The best-case location accuracy is 12.5 cm. The accuracy of height estimation is within 8 cm in majority cases. LOCI can easily be extended to recognize activities.","PeriodicalId":439751,"journal":{"name":"2020 19th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"318 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114553982","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}
