OPCM: Opportunistic Performance-driven Connectivity Management for 5G/xG Networks

5G and future 6G networks deploy cells with diverse combinations of access technologies, architectures, and radio frequency bands/channels. Cellular operators also employ carrier aggregation for higher data access speeds. We investigate the …

SCORPION: Robust Spatial-Temporal Collaborative Perception Model on Lossy Wireless Network

Collaborative Perception enables multiple agents, such as autonomous vehicles and infrastructure, to share sensor data via vehicular networks so that each agent gains an extended sensing range and better perception quality. Despite its promising …

Scalable Crowd-Sourced Global HD Map Construction via Collaborative Map Perception and Sparse Graph Fusion

High-definition (HD) maps are vital for autonomous driving, providing fine-grained geometric and semantic information beyond the scope of onboard perception. However, automatically constructing accurate vectorized maps at scale using learning-based …

Boosting Collaborative Vehicular Perception on the Edge with Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication

Collaborative Vehicular Perception (CVP) enables connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) to cooperatively extend their views through wirelessly sharing their sensor data. Existing CVP systems employ either a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or …

On Data Fabrication in Collaborative Vehicular Perception: Attacks and Countermeasures

Collaborative perception, which greatly enhances the sensing capability of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) by incorporating data from external resources, also brings forth potential security risks. CAVs' driving decisions rely on remote …

OASIS: Collaborative Neural-Enhanced Mobile Video Streaming

Neural-enhanced video streaming (e.g. super-resolution) is an ongoing revolution which can provide extremely high-quality video streaming services breaking the restriction of bandwidth. However, such enhancements require intense computation power …

The Case for Boosting Mobile Application QoE via Smart Band Switching in 5G/xG Networks

5G and future 6G networks support diverse combinations of access technologies, architectures, and radio frequencies, with each combination termed as a "band" henceforth. Through comprehensive measurements in 12 cities across 5 countries, we …

Robust Real-time Multi-vehicle Collaboration on Asynchronous Sensors

Cooperative perception significantly enhances the perception performance of connected autonomous vehicles. Instead of purely relying on local sensors with limited range, it enables multiple vehicles and roadside infrastructures to share sensor data …

Vivisecting Mobility Management in 5G Cellular Networks

With 5G's support for diverse radio bands and different deployment modes, e.g. standalone (SA) vs. non-standalone (NSA), mobility management - especially the handover process - becomes far more complex. Measurement studies have shown that frequent …

A Variegated Look at 5G in the Wild: Performance, Power, and QoE Implications

Motivated by rapidly expanding deployment of 5G services, we carry out an in-depth study to understand how 5G impacts application performance and energy efficiency. We examine the effects of 5G deployment strategies such as Non-Standalone (NSA) 5G …
