Abstract

The high-level contribution of this paper is a simulation-based analysis to evaluate the tradeoffs between lifetime and hop count of link-disjoint, node-disjoint and zone-disjoint multi-path routes vis-à-vis single-path minimum hop routes for mobile ad hoc networks. The link-disjoint, node-disjoint and zone-disjoint algorithms proposed in this paper can be used to arrive at benchmarks for the time between successive multi-path route discoveries, the number of disjoint paths per multi-path set and the hop count per multi-path set. We assume a multi-path set exists as long as at least one path in the set exists. Simulation results indicate that the number of zone-disjoint paths per multi-path set can be at most 2, which is far lower than the number of node and link-disjoint paths available per multi-path set. Also, the time between zone-disjoint multi-path discoveries would be far lower than the time between node and link-disjoint multi-path route discoveries and can be at most 45% more than the time between single minimum-hop path route discoveries. However, there is no appreciable difference in the average hop counts per zone-disjoint, node-disjoint and link-disjoint multi-path sets and it can be only at most 15% more than the average minimum hop count determined using single-path routing. We also observe that even though the number of link-disjoint paths per multi-path set can be as large as 35-78% more than the number of node-disjoint paths per multi-path set, the time between two successive link-disjoint multi-path discoveries can be at most 15-25% more than the time between two successive node-disjoint multi-path discoveries, without any significant difference in the hop count per multi-path set.

CSI Simulation: Why Additive Noise Fails and How to Fix It

Channel State Information (CSI) has become a widely used wireless channel sensing modality for applications such as indoor localization, activity recognition, and respiration monitoring. Because collecting labeled data under every target condition is impractical, training CSI-based models often relies on simulated data produced by adding noise or perturbations to recorded channel estimates, most commonly additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). This practice assumes that the receiver chain between the antenna and the channel estimator is linear and gain-invariant. We test this assumption empirically using RF jamming as a controlled perturbation on 6 commodity receivers across 2 indoor environments. The assumption does not hold. Automatic gain control compresses the channel estimate multiplicatively before digitization, producing amplitude distributions that no additive noise variance can reproduce. To close the resulting fidelity gap, we propose M_QTC, a measurement-calibrated model that learns the per-subcarrier distribution transformation through quantile mapping, temporal filtering, and copula-based cross-subcarrier reordering. M_QTC reduces amplitude error 8-fold and closes 89% of the aggregate fidelity gap across four complementary dimensions. The improvement transfers directly to downstream tasks, where 5 classifiers from different families trained on M_QTC-simulated data recover 93% of real-data jamming detection performance, while AWGN-trained classifiers remain near random decision.

BALANCE: Hybrid Autoregressive-Speculative LLM Inference at the Network Edge

Edge inference is a promising paradigm to provide large language model (LLM) inference services in next-generation mobile networks. LLM inference mainly relies on two approaches: Autoregressive decoding (AD) generates output tokens sequentially, resulting in long latency; Speculative decoding (SD) accelerates inference by using a small language model (SLM) to generate multiple draft tokens for LLM verification, but incurs extra memory costs. Due to this latency-memory tradeoff, neither approach alone can efficiently serve users with heterogeneous demands under limited edge computing resources. To address this challenge, we propose a hybrid autoregressive-speculative inference (BALANCE) framework for edge LLM inference. In BALANCE, an edge server hosts both an SLM and an LLM, admits users, assigns each admitted user to the AD or SD mode, and performs the two modes simultaneously. To maximize the number of served users, we formulate a task throughput maximization problem to jointly determine user admission and computing resource allocation between AD and SD under user latency requirements and server memory constraints. Since the problem is NP-hard, we develop a polynomial-time algorithm that transforms the original problem into two sub-problems and obtains a sub-optimal solution with a constant approximation guarantee. Experiments demonstrate that BALANCE consistently outperforms conventional AD and SD and significantly improves task throughput.

Zero-Knowledge Remote Adversarial Attack against Wi-Fi-based Human Activity Recognition for Privacy Protection

The growing capability of Wi-Fi devices to identify human activities using channel state information (CSI) raises privacy concerns. To counter this threat, we propose GRAW, an adversary system, acting as a privacy defender, that degrades the human activity recognition (HAR) system at the user device by perturbing the router's signals that the device uses to estimate CSI. GRAW employs generative adversarial imitation learning (GAIL) to construct perturbation signals, and thereby eliminates the need for any information on the target HAR systems and their inputs (i.e., zero-knowledge operation). We evaluate GRAW against seven representative HAR models, using datasets collected in five environments, including our own dataset. We observe that GRAW is the only remote attack scheme that degrades every tested HAR model to a random-selection level. At the same perturbation level, GRAW achieves an attack success ratio up to 76.7% higher than comparison methods, while maintaining over 99% packet success rate on regular Wi-Fi communication. We demonstrate the feasibility of GRAW through real-time, over-the-air experiments with software-defined radios.
