As mobile computing platforms, head-mounted displays (HMDs) for augmented reality (AR) applications, similar to other mobile computing platforms, face challenges in minimizing their energy usage. While not yet as pervasive as smartphones, we can envision that more useful everyday AR applications can arise as we allow HMDs to enjoy longer operation times. This work takes a first step in designing an...
Vital sign (e.g., breathing rate) monitoring has become increasingly more important because it offers useful clues of medical conditions such as sleep disorders or anomalies. It is necessary to provide contact-free, easy deployment, and long-term vital sign monitoring for healthcare. In this demo, we present SonarBeat to leverage a phase based active sonar to monitor breathing rates with smartphones.
In this demo, we introduce the tweet-based newsfeed summary service, called iApollo, running on a named data network (NDN) stack. This novel application provides a customized newsfeed service to individual readers based on their interests. Data sampling is essential in iApollo because of the large volume of tweets. Espresso, the automatic naming agent, translates this sampling problem into the simple...
Understanding user-induced effects on signal reception across multiple frequency bands is of great scientific and military importance to the wireless industry. Various on-body locations and directional heading of the user are believed to impact the performance of mobile devices, but there has been little work across multiple frequency bands to quantify these user-induced effects. In this work, we...
Recent development of wireless communications has resulted to the augmentation of small cell to traditional macrocell networks. This constitutes an improved coverage and system capacity of the networks. However, it consequently results to interference and high blockage rate, which are the problems we are treating in this paper. This work proposes two cell selection schemes that adopt the enhanced...
Transparent authentication schemes based on proximity verification over a wireless channel are susceptible to relay attacks. In recent literature several countermeasures have been proposed. However these come with drawbacks in terms of usability and deployability. In this demo, we show a prototype implementation of STASH, a scheme for securing transparent authentication schemes using prover-side proximity...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have significant limitations in available bandwidth and energy. The limited bandwidth in sensor networks can cause higher message delivery latency. In this demo, we demonstrate working of novel Zorder based data compression schemes (Z- compression) to reduce energy and save bandwidth without increasing the message delivery latency using a TelosB motes based sensor network...
Visible Light Communication (VLC) can dual purpose energy efficient LED-based lighting infrastructure for both illumination and data communication. Unfortunately, this dual-purposing is only inherent in the downlink direction, from infrastructure illumination sources to mobile devices. In this paper, we design, analyze, and implement LiRa, a Light-Radio WLAN that fuses light and radio capabilities...
Sensor networks and the Internet of Things motivate novel classes of job scheduling problems where each "job" corresponds to downloading some data object from the sensor network, i.e., querying the network for some portion of its current state. The purpose of scheduling a set of jobs may be to support decision tasks, where the user will make a choice, prior to a deadline, informed by all...
In state-of-the-art Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) routing algorithms, two encountering nodes rely on routing utilities (e.g., probabilities of meeting other nodes) to decide the better carrier (defined forwarder) for their packets. As the utilities and forwarder information reflect user privacy, nodes may be reluctant to disclose such information, which however is indispensable in routing. To handle...
In this paper, we investigate the problem of pilot optimization, resource allocation, and user association in a massive MIMO heterogeneous network (HetNet) with wireless backhaul (WB) and linear processing. The objective is to maximize the sum downlink rate of all users, subject to constraints on data rate of WB and fairness-aware constraints. Such a problem is formulated as an integer programming...
