This paper proposes and demonstrates a PHY-layer design of a real-time prototype that supports Ultra-Reliable Communication (URC) in wireless infrastructure networks. The design makes use of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) as a means to achieve URC. Compared with Time-Division Multiple Access (TDMA), OFDMA concentrates the transmit power to a narrower bandwidth, resulting in higher effective SNR. Compared with Frequency-Division Multiple Access (FDMA), OFDMA has higher spectrum efficiency thanks to the smaller subcarrier spacing. Although OFDMA has been introduced in 802.11ax, the purpose was to add flexibility in spectrum usage. Our Reliable OFDMA design, referred to as ROFA, is a clean-slate design with a single goal of ultra-reliable packet delivery. ROFA solves a number of key challenges to ensure the ultra-reliability: (1) a downlink-coordinated time-synchronization mechanism to synchronize the uplink transmission of users, with at most $0.1us$ timing offset; (2) an STF-free packet reception synchronization method that makes use of the property of synchronous systems to avoid packet misdetection; and (3) an uplink precoding mechanism to reduce the CFOs between users and the AP to a negligible level. We implemented ROFA on the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) SDR platform with real-time signal processing. Extensive experimental results show that ROFA can achieve ultra-reliable packet delivery ($PER<10^5$) with $11.5dB$ less transmit power compared with OFDM-TDMA when they use $3$ and $52$ subcarriers respectively.

Industrial production plants traditionally include sensors for monitoring or documenting processes, and actuators for enabling corrective actions in cases of misconfigurations, failures, or dangerous events. With the advent of the IoT, embedded contr ollers link these `things to local networks that often are of low power wireless kind, and are interconnected via gateways to some cloud from the global Internet. Inter-networked sensors and actuators in the industrial IoT form a critical subsystem while frequently operating under harsh conditions. It is currently under debate how to approach inter-networking of critical industrial components in a safe and secure manner. In this paper, we analyze the potentials of ICN for providing a secure and robust networking solution for constrained controllers in industrial safety systems. We showcase hazardous gas sensing in widespread industrial environments, such as refineries, and compare with IP-based approaches such as CoAP and MQTT. Our findings indicate that the content-centric security model, as well as enhanced DoS resistance are important arguments for deploying Information Centric Networking in a safety-critical industrial IoT. Evaluation of the crypto efforts on the RIOT operating system for content security reveal its feasibility for common deployment scenarios.
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be a valuable decision-support tool for farmers. This motivated our deployment of a WSN system to support rain-fed agriculture in India. We defined promising use cases and resolved technical challenges throughout a two-year deployment of our COMMON-Sense Net system, which provided farmers with environment data. However, the direct use of this technology in the field did not foster the expected participation of the population. This made it difficult to develop the intended decision-support system. Based on this experience, we take the following position in this paper: currently, the deployment of WSN technology in developing regions is more likely to be effective if it targets scientists and technical personnel as users, rather than the farmers themselves. We base this claim on the lessons learned from the COMMON-Sense system deployment and the results of an extensive user experiment with agriculture scientists, which we describe in this paper.
To date, model-based reliable communication with low latency is of paramount importance for time-critical wireless control systems. In this work, we study the downlink (DL) controller-to-actuator scheduling problem in a wireless industrial network su ch that the outage probability is minimized. In contrast to the existing literature based on well-known stationary fading channel models, we assume an arbitrary and unknown channel fading model, which is available only via samples. To overcome the issue of limited data samples, we invoke the generative adversarial network framework and propose an online data-driven approach to jointly schedule the DL transmissions and learn the channel distributions in an online manner. Numerical results show that the proposed approach can effectively learn any arbitrary channel distribution and further achieve the optimal performance by using the predicted outage probability.
Bandwidth requirements of both wireless and wired clients in access networks continue to increase rapidly, primarily due to the growth of video traffic. Application awareness can be utilized in access networks to optimize quality of experience (QoE) of end clients. In this study, we utilize information at the client-side application (e.g., video resolution) to achieve superior resource allocation that improves user QoE. We emphasize optimizing QoE of the system rather than quality of service (QoS), as user satisfaction directly relies on QoE and optimizing QoS does not necessarily optimize QoE, as shown in this study. We propose application-aware resource-allocation schemes on an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON), which supports wireless (utilizing orthogonal frequency division multiple access) and wired clients running video-conference applications. Numerical results show that the application-aware resource-allocation schemes improve QoE for video-conference applications for wired and wireless clients.
Smart grid, regarded as the next generation power grid, uses two-way flows of electricity and information to create a widely distributed automated energy delivery network. In this work we present our vision on smart grid from the perspective of wirel ess communications and networking technologies.
