[SenSys' 22] LLDPC: A Low-Density Parity-Check Coding Scheme for LoRa Networks, Wengliang
Abstract: Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes have been widely used for Forward Error Correction (FEC) in wireless networks because they can approach the capacity of wireless links with lightweight encoding complexity. Although LoRa networks have been developed for many applications, they still adopt simple FEC codes, i.e., Hamming codes, which provide limited FEC capacity, causing unreliable data transmissions and high energy consumption of LoRa nodes. To close this gap, this paper develops LLDPC, which realizes LDPC coding in LoRa networks. Three challenges are addressed. 1) LoRa employs Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) modulation, which only provides hard demodulation results without soft information. However, LDPC requires the Log-Likelihood Ratio (LLR) of each received bit for decoding. We develop an LLR extractor for LoRa CSS. 2) Some erroneous bits may have high LLRs (i.e., wrongly confident in their correctness), significantly affecting the LDPC decoding efficiency. We use symbol-level information to fine-tune the LLRs of some bits to improve the LDPC decoding efficiency. 3) Soft Belief Propagation (SBP) is typically used as the LDPC decoding algorithm. It involves heavy iterative computation, resulting in a long decoding latency, which prevents the gateway from sending timely an acknowledgment. We take advantage of recent advances in graph neural networks for fast belief propagation in LDPC decoding. Extensive simulations on a large-scale synthetic dataset and in-filed experiments reveal that LLDPC can extend the lifetime of the default LoRa by 86.7% and reduce the decoding latency of the SBP algorithm by 58.09×.
[ToN' 22] Continuous Network Update With Consistency Guaranteed in Software-Defined Networks, Yaliang
Abstract: Network update enables Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) to optimize the data plane performance. The single update focuses on processing one update event at a time, i.e. , updating a set of flows from their initial routes to target routes, but it fails to handle continuously arriving update events in time incurred by high-frequency network changes. On the contrary, the continuous update proposed in “Update Algebra” can handle multiple update events concurrently and respond to the network condition changes at all times. However, “Update Algebra” only guarantees the blackhole-free and loop-free update. The congestion-free property cannot be respected. In this paper, we propose Coeus to achieve the continuous update while maintaining consistency, i.e. , ensuring the blackhole-free, loop-free, and congestion-free properties simultaneously. Firstly, we establish the continuous update model based on the update operations in update events. With the update model, we dynamically reconstruct the operation dependency graph (ODG) to capture the relationship between update operations and link utilization variations. Then, we develop a composition algorithm to eliminate redundant operations in update events. To further speed up the update procedure, we present a partition algorithm to split the operation nodes of the ODG into a series of suboperation nodes that can be executed independently. The partition algorithm is proven to be optimal. Finally, extensive evaluations show that Coeus can improve the update speed by at least 179% and reduce redundant operations by at least 52% compared with state-of-the-art approaches when the arrival rate of update events equals three times per second.
