Dynamic Quality-Latency Aware Routing for LLM Inference in Wireless Edge-Device Networks
The integration of wireless communications and Large Language Models (LLMs) is poised to unlock ubiquitous intelligent services, yet deploying them in wireless edge-device collaborative environments presents a critical trade-off between inference quality and end-to-end latency. A fundamental mismatch exists between task complexity and resource allocation: offloading simple queries invites prohibitive latency, while on-device models lack the capacity for demanding computations. To address this c…

DSSD: Efficient Edge-Device Deployment and Collaborative Inference via Distributed Split Speculative Decoding
Large language models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing but face critical deployment challenges in device-edge systems due to resource limitations and communication overhead. To address these issues, collaborative frameworks have emerged that combine small language models (SLMs) on devices with LLMs at the edge, using speculative decoding (SD) to improve efficiency. However, existing solutions often trade inference accuracy for latency or suffer from high uplink transmission c…

A Gentle Wakeup Call: Symmetry Breaking with Less Collision Cost
The wakeup problem addresses the fundamental challenge of symmetry breaking. There are $n$ devices sharing a time-slotted multiple access channel. In any fixed slot, if a single device sends a packet, it succeeds; however, if two or more devices send, then there is a collision and none of the corresponding packets succeed. For the static version of wakeup, all packets are initially active (i.e., can send and listen on the channel); for the dynamic version, the packets become active at arbitrary…

Stability analysis of the flow in a coflowing device
We analyze the stability of the coflow configuration. The experiments and the global stability analysis show that the emitted jet always destabilizes before the tapering conical meniscus. This implies that the parameter conditions at which polydisperse dripping arises cannot be determined from the linear stability analysis of the steady jetting mode. Transient simulations show that the linear superposition of decaying eigenmodes triggered by an initial perturbation can lead to the jet breakup. …

Translating a VDM Model of a Medical Device into Kapture
As the complexity of safety-critical medical devices increases, so does the need for clear, verifiable, software requirements. This paper explores the use of Kapture, a formal modelling tool developed by D-RisQ, to translate an existing formal VDM model of a medical implant for treating focal epilepsy called CANDO. The work was undertaken without prior experience in formal methods. The paper assess Kapture's usability, the challenges of formal modelling, and the effectiveness of the translated …

"So let’s get one thing out of the way: I think “AI literacy” is a dangerous device of neoliberal education and it deserves to be dismissed out of hand."
"Using AI is not about communicating. It’s about avoiding communicating. It’s about not reading, not writing, not drawing, not seeing. It’s about ceding our powers of expression and comprehension to digital apps that will cushion us from fully participating in our own lives."

Against AI literacy: have we actually found a way to reverse learning?

Aggregating Inverter-Based Resources for Fast Frequency Response: A Nash Bargaining Game-Based Approach
This paper proposes a multi-objective optimization (MOO) approach for grid-level frequency regulation by aggregating inverter-based resources (IBRs). Virtual power plants (VPPs), acting as aggregators, can efficiently respond to dynamic response requirements from the grid. Through parametric modeling, grid-level frequency regulation requirements are accurately quantified and translated into a feasible parameter region defined by device-level parameters. Based on this feasible region, an MOO mod…

Flexible Personalized Split Federated Learning for On-Device Fine-Tuning of Foundation Models
Fine-tuning foundation models is critical for superior performance on personalized downstream tasks, compared to using pre-trained models. Collaborative learning can leverage local clients' datasets for fine-tuning, but limited client data and heterogeneous data distributions hinder effective collaboration. To address the challenge, we propose a flexible personalized federated learning paradigm that enables clients to engage in collaborative learning while maintaining personalized objectives. G…

Mapping diverse hysteresis dynamics in scaled MoS$_2$ FETs using the universal method derived from TCAD modeling
Field-effect transistors (FETs) based on 2D materials have already reached the stage of trial FAB integration. However, reliability limitations caused by various defects present a serious obstacle for their smooth way forward, especially when scaling the device geometries. Still the ongoing research is mostly focused on pure technology aspects, while reliability is often recalled only when showing a randomly measured gate transfer curve to manifest that the hysteresis is "negligible".In fact th…

Device Independent Quantum Key Activation
Device-independent quantum key distribution (DIQKD) allows two distant parties to establish a secret key, based only on the observed Bell nonlocal distribution. It remains however, unclear what the minimal resources for enabling DIQKD are and how to maximize the key rate from a given distribution. In the present work, we consider a scenario where several copies of a given quantum distribution are jointly processed via a local and classical wiring operation. We find that, under few assumptions, …

On-Device Multimodal Federated Learning for Efficient Jamming Detection
Wireless networks face severe vulnerabilities from jamming attacks, which can significantly disrupt communication. Existing detection approaches are often unimodal, rely on centralized processing, and demand substantial computational resources, hindering scalability, efficiency, and deployment feasibility. To address these challenges, we introduce a multimodal Federated Learning (FL) framework for on-device jamming detection and classification that integrates spectrograms with cross-layer netwo…

Wireless Multi-Port Sensing: Virtual-VNA-Enabled De-Embedding of an Over-the-Air Fixture
We develop a multi-port-backscatter-modulation technique to determine, over the air (OTA), the scattering parameters of a linear, passive, time-invariant multi-port device under test (DUT). A set of "not-directly-accessible" (NDA) antennas can be switched between being terminated by the DUT or by a specific, known, tunable load network. Waves can be radiated and captured via a distinct set of "accessible" antennas that couple OTA to the NDA antennas. First, we characterize the OTA fixture betwe…

Enhancing gate control and mitigating short channel effects in 20-50 nm channel length single-gate amorphous oxide Thin Film Transistors
Field-effect transistors (FETs) with single gates are adversely affected by short channel effects such as drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) and increases in the magnitude of sub-threshold swing as the channel length is reduced. Dual-gate and gate-all-around geometries are often employed to improve gate control in very short channel length transistors. This can introduce significant process complexity to the device fabrication compared to single-gate transistors. It is shown in this paper th…

P/D-Device: Disaggregated Large Language Model between Cloud and Devices
Serving disaggregated large language models has been widely adopted in industrial practice for enhanced performance. However, too many tokens generated in decoding phase, i.e., occupying the resources for a long time, essentially hamper the cloud from achieving a higher throughput. Meanwhile, due to limited on-device resources, the time to first token (TTFT), i.e., the latency of prefill phase, increases dramatically with the growth on prompt length. In order to concur with such a bottleneck on…

RateCount: Learning-Free Device Counting by Wi-Fi Probe Listening
A Wi-Fi-enabled device, or simply Wi-Fi device, sporadically broadcasts probe request frames (PRFs) to discover nearby access points (APs), whether connected to an AP or not. To protect user privacy, unconnected devices often randomize their MAC addresses in the PRFs, known as MAC address randomization. While prior works have achieved accurate device counting under MAC address randomization, they typically rely on machine learning, resulting in inefficient deployment due to the time-consuming p…

FIDELIS: Blockchain-Enabled Protection Against Poisoning Attacks in Federated Learning
Federated learning enhances traditional deep learning by enabling the joint training of a model with the use of IoT device's private data. It ensures privacy for clients, but is susceptible to data poisoning attacks during training that degrade model performance and integrity. Current poisoning detection methods in federated learning lack a standardized detection method or take significant liberties with trust. In this paper, we present \Sys, a novel blockchain-enabled poison detection framewor…
