In this work, we propose a contrastive representation learning framework to demonstrate that bio-impedance can enhance IMU-based fitness activity recognition beyond the common sensor fusion method, which requires all sensing modalities to be available during both training and inference phases. Instead, in our proposed framework, only the target sensing modality (IMU) is required at inference time. To evaluate our method, we collected both IMU and bio-impedance sensing data through an experiment involving ten subjects performing six types of upper-body and four kinds of lower-body exercises over five days. The bio-impedance-alone classification model achieved an average Macro F1 score of 75.49% and 71.57% for upper-body and lower-body fitness activities, respectively, which was lower than that of the IMU-alone model (83.10% and 78.61%). However, with our proposed method, significant performance improvement (2.66% for upper-body activities and 3.2% for lower-body activities) was achieved by the IMU-only classification model. This improvement leverages the contrastive representation learning framework, where the information from bio-impedance sensing guides the training procedure of the IMU-only model.

Aphasia is an example of an acquired language impairment that affects many people (around 2 million in the United States), being commonly caused by stroke, but also by other brain injuries. Several augmentative and alternative communication solutions are available to help people with communication difficulties, but they are generally not suitable for all contexts of use (e.g., lying in bed). In the scope of the “APH-ALARM” project, which aimed at developing solutions to support people with Aphasia, we envision a system for the bedroom that enables conveying messages to be sent to a caregiver or relative, for example. Focusing on gesture input, in this contribution, we investigated if smartwatch sensors and machine learning (ML) can be used to recognise arm gestures executed while lying. We explored different factors, namely the feature set, size of the sliding window used for feature extraction, and ML classifier. The results obtained with data gathered from ten subjects are promising, with the best factor combinations for the user-independent solution leading to a mean macro F1 score of 94% or 95%. They demonstrate the potential of using wearables to develop a gesture input modality for the in-bed scenario, which can also potentially be extended to other contexts (e.g., sitting in a bed, chair, or sofa, or standing).

IoT devices autonomously collect and disseminate contents to end-users via network routers. There is growing interest in integrating IoT communications with Named Data Networking (NDN) architecture to retrieve and distribute content efficiently. The content caching characteristics of NDN are pivotal in improving Quality-of-Service (QoS) for IoT. However, unlike multimedia content traffic, which tends to remain static, IoT-generated content is inherently transient in nature, and each content has a finite lifespan. As a result, without efficient caching solutions for IoT contents, the network efficiency and user experience would be degraded. Existing caching approaches often overlook the importance of IoT content freshness, its access pattern and the position of routers during content placement decisions in the IoT networks. In this paper, a novel Popularity and Freshness-based Caching (PFC) scheme has been proposed that aims to strategically cache popular and fresh IoT contents on routers located close to the end-user devices. In the proposed solution, the popularity of content is determined using the request history queue deployed on all network routers. For efficient caching decisions, the hop count metric favors routers in close proximity to end-users. Rigorous simulations with realistic network parameters are performed on the realistic IoT network topologies. The simulation results demonstrate that the PFC approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art caching approaches (LCE, LCC, Consumer-Driven, Consumer-Cache, etc.) on several performance parameters: cache hit ratio, network delay, hop count, network traffic, and energy consumption. This makes the PFC caching approach well-suited for NDN-based IoT networks by enabling efficient content caching decisions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49005,"journal":{"name":"Pervasive and Mobile Computing","volume":"109 ","pages":"Article 102031"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143697403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When terrestrial infrastructure is compromised during emergencies, Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) can offer a quick and effective solution for re-establishing connectivity in affected areas. The dynamic coverage provided by a swarm of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) during a disaster could be crucial for people inside the affected areas. In high-demand and critical situations, the performance of FANETs may deteriorate due to several factors, including simultaneous user connections, high traffic volumes, limited energy resources of network devices, and interference arising within the same geographic region. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel, bio-inspired recruitment algorithm that aims to guarantee good performance of FANETs in energy constrained scenarios by efficiently recruiting UAVs to cover the demand of end users connected to the network. In such a scenario, when additional UAVs cannot be reachable using the on-earth network infrastructure and multi-hop routing, the recruiting can be supported through a multi-layer hybrid architecture that integrates CubeSats to forward recruiting requests to potential UAVs located far from the network.
