State-of-the-art performance for many emerging edge applications is achieved by deep neural networks (DNNs). Often, these DNNs are location and time sensitive, and the parameters of a specific DNN must be delivered from an edge server to the edge device rapidly and efficiently to carry out time-sensitive inference tasks. We introduce AirNet, a novel training and analog transmission method that allows efficient wireless delivery of DNNs. We first train the DNN with noise injection to counter the wireless channel noise. We also employ pruning to reduce the channel bandwidth necessary for transmission, and perform knowledge distillation from a larger model to achieve satisfactory performance, despite the channel perturbations. We show that AirNet achieves significantly higher test accuracy compared to digital alternatives under the same bandwidth and power constraints. It also exhibits graceful degradation with channel quality, which reduces the requirement for accurate channel estimation.

IoT systems typically involve separate data collection and processing, and the former faces the scalability issue when the number of nodes increases. For some tasks, only the result of data fusion is needed. Then, the whole process can be realized in
an efficient way, integrating the data collection and fusion in one step by over-the-air computation (AirComp). Its shortcoming, however, is signal distortion when channel gains of nodes are different, which cannot be well solved by transmission power control alone in times of deep fading. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a multi-slot over-the-air computation (MS-AirComp) framework for the sum estimation in fading channels. Compared with conventional data collection (one slot for each node) and AirComp (one slot for all nodes), MS-AirComp is an alternative policy that lies between them, exploiting multiple slots to improve channel gains so as to facilitate power control. Specifically, the transmissions are distributed over multiple slots and a threshold of channel gain is set for distributed transmission scheduling. Each node transmits its signal only once, in the slot when its channel gain first gets above the threshold, or in the last slot when its channel gain remains below the threshold. Theoretical analysis gives the closed-form of the computation error in fading channels, based on which the optimal parameters are found. Noticing that computation error tends to be reduced at the cost of more transmission power, a method is suggested to control the increase of transmission power. Simulations confirm that the proposed method can effectively reduce computation error, compared with state-of-the-art methods.
An adversarial deep learning approach is presented to launch over-the-air spectrum poisoning attacks. A transmitter applies deep learning on its spectrum sensing results to predict idle time slots for data transmission. In the meantime, an adversary
learns the transmitters behavior (exploratory attack) by building another deep neural network to predict when transmissions will succeed. The adversary falsifies (poisons) the transmitters spectrum sensing data over the air by transmitting during the short spectrum sensing period of the transmitter. Depending on whether the transmitter uses the sensing results as test data to make transmit decisions or as training data to retrain its deep neural network, either it is fooled into making incorrect decisions (evasion attack), or the transmitters algorithm is retrained incorrectly for future decisions (causative attack). Both attacks are energy efficient and hard to detect (stealth) compared to jamming the long data transmission period, and substantially reduce the throughput. A dynamic defense is designed for the transmitter that deliberately makes a small number of incorrect transmissions (selected by the confidence score on channel classification) to manipulate the adversarys training data. This defense effectively fools the adversary (if any) and helps the transmitter sustain its throughput with or without an adversary present.
In typical sensor networks, data collection and processing are separated. A sink collects data from all nodes sequentially, which is very time consuming. Over-the-air computation, as a new diagram of sensor networks, integrates data collection and pr
ocessing in one slot: all nodes transmit their signals simultaneously in the analog wave and the processing is done in the air. This method, although efficient, requires that signals from all nodes arrive at the sink, aligned in signal magnitude so as to enable an unbiased estimation. For nodes far away from the sink with a low channel gain, misalignment in signal magnitude is unavoidable. To solve this problem, in this paper, we investigate the amplify-and-forward based relay, in which a relay node amplifies signals from many nodes at the same time. We first discuss the general relay model and a simple relay policy. Then, a coherent relay policy is proposed to reduce relay transmission power. Directly minimizing the computation error tends to over-increase node transmission power. Therefore, the two relay policies are further refined with a new metric, and the transmission power is reduced while the computation error is kept low. In addition, the coherent relay policy helps to reduce the relay transmission power by half, to below the limit, which makes it one step ahead towards practical applications.
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) can achieve the desired results within a short duration by offloading tasks even requiring high computational power (e.g., object detection (OD)) to edge clouds. However, although edge clouds are exploited, real-time OD cann
ot always be guaranteed due to dynamic channel quality. To mitigate this problem, we propose an edge network-assisted real-time OD framework~(EODF). In an EODF, AVs extract the region of interests~(RoIs) of the captured image when the channel quality is not sufficiently good for supporting real-time OD. Then, AVs compress the image data on the basis of the RoIs and transmit the compressed one to the edge cloud. In so doing, real-time OD can be achieved owing to the reduced transmission latency. To verify the feasibility of our framework, we evaluate the probability that the results of OD are not received within the inter-frame duration (i.e., outage probability) and their accuracy. From the evaluation, we demonstrate that the proposed EODF provides the results to AVs in real-time and achieves satisfactory accuracy.
The IEEE 802.1 time-sensitive networking (TSN) standards aim at improving the real-time capabilities of standard Ethernet. TSN is widely recognized as the long-term replacement of proprietary technologies for industrial control systems. However, wire
d connectivity alone is not sufficient to meet the requirements of future industrial systems. The fifth-generation (5G) mobile/cellular technology has been designed with native support for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (uRLLC). 5G is promising to meet the stringent requirements of industrial systems in the wireless domain. Converged operation of 5G and TSN systems is crucial for achieving end-to-end deterministic connectivity in industrial networks. Accurate time synchronization is key to integrated operation of 5G and TSN systems. To this end, this paper evaluates the performance of over-the-air time synchronization mechanism which has been proposed in 3GPP Release 16. We analyze the accuracy of time synchronization through the boundary clock approach in the presence of clock drift and different air-interface timing errors related to reference time indication. We also investigate frequency and scalability aspects of over-the-air time synchronization. Our performance evaluation reveals the conditions under which 1 (mu)s or below requirement for TSN time synchronization can be achieved.
