Voice interfaces has become an integral part of our lives, with the proliferation of smart devices. Today, IoT devices mainly rely on microphones to sense sound. Microphones, however, have fundamental limitations, such as weak source separation, limited range in the presence of acoustic insulation, and being prone to multiple side-channel attacks. In this paper, we propose RadioMic, a radio-based sound sensing system to mitigate these issues and enrich sound applications. RadioMic constructs sound based on tiny vibrations on active sources (e.g., a speaker or human throat) or object surfaces (e.g., paper bag), and can work through walls, even a soundproof one. To convert the extremely weak sound vibration in the radio signals into sound signals, RadioMic introduces radio acoustics, and presents training-free approaches for robust sound detection and high-fidelity sound recovery. It then exploits a neural network to further enhance the recovered sound by expanding the recoverable frequencies and reducing the noises. RadioMic translates massive online audios to synthesized data to train the network, and thus minimizes the need of RF data. We thoroughly evaluate RadioMic under different scenarios using a commodity mmWave radar. The results show RadioMic outperforms the state-of-the-art systems significantly. We believe RadioMic provides new horizons for sound sensing and inspires attractive sensing capabilities of mmWave sensing devices

Underneath the ear skin there are richly branching vascular and neural networks that ultimately connecting to our heart and brain. Hence, the three-dimensional (3D) mapping of auricular electrophysiological signals could provide a new perspective for biomedical studies such as diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders. However, it is still extremely challenging for current sensing techniques to cover the entire ultra-curved auricle. Here, we report a graphene-based ear-conformable sensing device with embedded and distributed 3D electrodes which enable full-auricle physiological monitoring. The sensing device, which incorporates programable 3D electrode thread array and personalized auricular mold, has 3D-conformable sensing interfaces with curved auricular skin, and was developed using one-step multi-material 3D-printing process. As a proof-of-concept, spatiotemporal auricular electrical skin resistance (AESR) mapping was demonstrated. For the first time, 3D AESR contours were generated and human subject-specific AESR distributions among a population were observed. From the data of 17 volunteers, the auricular region-specific AESR changes after cycling exercise were observed in 98% of the tests and were validated via machine learning techniques. Correlations of AESR with heart rate and blood pressure were also studied using statistical analysis. This 3D electronic platform and AESR-based new biometrical findings show promising biomedical applications.
In this paper, we tackle channel estimation in millimeter-wave hybrid multiple-input multiple-output systems by considering off-grid effects. In particular, we assume that spatial parameters can take any value in the angular domain, and need not fall on predefined discretized angles. Instead of increasing the number of discretized points to combat off-grid effects, we use implicit Dirichlet kernel structure in the Fourier domain, which conventional compressed sensing methods do not use. We propose greedy low-complexity algorithms based on orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP); our core idea is to traverse the Dirichlet kernel peak using estimates of the discrete Fourier transform. We demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed algorithms compared to standard OMP reconstruction. Numerical results show that our proposed algorithms obtain smaller reconstruction errors when off-grid effects are accounted for.
A reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can shape the radio propagation environment by virtue of changing the impinging electromagnetic waves towards any desired directions, thus, breaking the general Snells reflection law. However, the optimal co ntrol of the RIS requires perfect channel state information (CSI) of the individual channels that link the base station (BS) and the mobile station (MS) to each other via the RIS. Thereby super-resolution channel (parameter) estimation needs to be efficiently conducted at the BS or MS with CSI feedback to the RIS controller. In this paper, we adopt a two-stage channel estimation scheme for RIS-aided millimeter wave (mmWave) MIMO systems without a direct BS-MS channel, using atomic norm minimization to sequentially estimate the channel parameters, i.e., angular parameters, angle differences, and products of propagation path gains. We evaluate the mean square error of the parameter estimates, the RIS gains, the average effective spectrum efficiency bound, and average squared distance between the designed beamforming and combining vectors and the optimal ones. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves super-resolution estimation compared to the existing benchmark schemes, thus offering promising performance in the subsequent data transmission phase.
Realizing edge intelligence consists of sensing, communication, training, and inference stages. Conventionally, the sensing and communication stages are executed sequentially, which results in excessive amount of dataset generation and uploading time . This paper proposes to accelerate edge intelligence via integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). As such, the sensing and communication stages are merged so as to make the best use of the wireless signals for the dual purpose of dataset generation and uploading. However, ISAC also introduces additional interference between sensing and communication functionalities. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a classification error minimization formulation to design the ISAC beamforming and time allocation. Globally optimal solution is derived via the rank-1 guaranteed semidefinite relaxation, and performance analysis is performed to quantify the ISAC gain. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed ISAC scheme. Interestingly, it is found that when the sensing time dominates the communication time, ISAC is always beneficial. However, when the communication time dominates, the edge intelligence with ISAC scheme may not be better than that with the conventional scheme, since ISAC introduces harmful interference between the sensing and communication signals.

Special high-end sensors with expensive hardware are usually needed to measure shock signals with high accuracy. In this paper, we show that cheap low-end sensors calibrated by deep neural networks are also capable to measure high-g shocks accurately . Firstly we perform drop shock tests to collect a dataset of shock signals measured by sensors of different fidelity. Secondly, we propose a novel network to effectively learn both the signal peak and overall shape. The results show that the proposed network is capable to map low-end shock signals to its high-end counterparts with satisfactory accuracy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to apply deep learning techniques to calibrate shock sensors.
