Abstract

In the last few years, the Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) has come to be an important area of research. Significant research has been conducted to improve the performance of VANETS. One output of further research conducted on VANET is the Vehicular Delay Tolerant Network (VDTN). It is an application of the mobile DTN where nodes relay messages in the network using a store-carry-forward approach. Due to its high mobility, it suffers frequent disconnections and also congestions at nodes which leads to message drops. To minimize the rate of message drops and so optimize the probability of message delivery so that drivers are increasingly aware of the situation of the road, we propose a congestion control mechanism: Congestion Aware Spray and Wait (CASaW) protocol in this work so as to optimize the rate of message delivery to its destination and so increase the awareness of drivers in the vehicular environment thereby improve road safety. The results have shown that our proposition performed better than other classical VDTN protocols in terms of message delivery probability and rate of packet drops performance measures. We used the Opportunistic Networking Environment (ONE) simulator to implement the classical VDTN protocols: the PROPHET protocol, the Epidemic protocol, the MaxProp protocol and the Spray and Wait Protocol. The simulation scenarios shows a better performance for the congestion control mechanism we propose as it maintains a good message delivery rate as well as minimize the rate of packet losses thereby optimizing the chances of messages getting to their destinations and so improve road safety.

Secure Polarization-Shift Backscatter Identification Applied to Battery-Free BLE Sensors Powered by Wireless Power Transfer

This paper presents a lightweight and protocolindependent security mechanism for battery-free Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensor nodes operating in Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) architecture. The proposed approach exploits polarization-shift backscattering of the wireless power wave to transmit an encrypted device identification prior to data communication. A fail-safe RF switch and orthogonally polarized antennas are integrated as an external add-on module, enabling controlled backscatter without modifying the original energy-harvesting rectifier. The identification payload is encrypted using AES-128 and transmitted with minimal energy overhead. Experimental validation on a battery-free BLE sensor node demonstrates reliable extraction of the backscattered identification signal, seamless coexistence with BLE advertising, and improved RF-to-DC harvesting efficiency compared to rectifier-based backscatter solutions. The results confirm that polarization-shift backscatter identification provides an effective and practical security for battery-free BLE sensing systems.

From WPT to Encrypted Telemetry: A Battery-Free Backscattering-based Polarimetric Wireless Sensor

This work introduces an indoor Battery-Free Wireless Sensing Node powered through radiative Wireless Power Transfer (WPT). The proposed platform targets secure, energyefficient active sensing and overcomes key limitations of many prior battery-free approaches, which commonly provide neither on-node computation nor cryptographic protection. The node combines temperature, humidity, pressure and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) measurements with a low-power microcontroller that executes sensor calibration, derives a VOC index, formats the payload, and applies AES-128 encryption before wireless transmission. Energy harvesting and communication are enabled by a 1-bit controlled Backscatter Rectenna (BR), which both scavenges incident RF power and produces an orthogonally polarized backscattered signal for robust polarimetric operation. Experimental results validate reliable multi-sensor readout and encrypted data transfer, while maintaining a very low energy budget for the complete sense-compute-encrypt-transmit cycle.

NebulaSD: Many-for-Many Speculative Decoding

Speculative decoding accelerates Large Language Model (LLM) inference by using a lightweight draft model to propose candidate tokens for parallel verification by a target model. Drafting and verification, however, exhibit different service characteristics and favor different batch configurations, making fixed draft-target coupling inefficient under concurrent workloads. Existing distributed designs can physically separate the two stages, but often retain request or batch affinities that prevent their capacities from being shared globally. We present NebulaSD, a many-for-many, or M-for-N, speculative decoding system that organizes draft and target workers into independently schedulable resource pools and dynamically reconstructs stage-specific batches from shared request pools. Such dynamic reassignment removes fixed worker locality, requiring request states to be made available at newly selected workers without introducing migration stalls. NebulaSD addresses this challenge through worker-triggered batch reconstruction and asynchronous KV-state preparation overlapped with model execution. We evaluate NebulaSD from both system and scaling perspectives, showing that dynamic pooling improves request-round processing rate by 50.4% over a physically disaggregated baseline and 72.6% over co-located execution on a four-GPU deployment while substantially increasing effective GPU utilization. Profile-driven simulations further show approximately proportional compute-side capacity scaling under idealized state movement.
