SUMMARY:Amani Al-shawabka's PhD Proposal Review
DESCRIPTION:“Channel-and-Adversary-Resilient Radio Fingerprinting through Data-Driven Approaches at Scale” \nCommittee: \nProf. Tommaso Melodia (Advisor)\nProf. Kaushik Chowdhury\nProf. Francesco Restuccia \nAbstract: \nRadio fingerprinting authenticates wireless devices by leveraging tiny hardware-level imperfections inevitably present in the radio circuitry. This way\, devices can be directly identified at the physical layer– thus avoiding energy-expensive upper-layer cryptography that resource-limited embedded devices may not be able to afford. Recent advances have proven that employing deep learning algorithms can achieve fingerprinting accuracy levels that were impossible to achieve by traditional low-dimensional algorithms. Still\, the wireless research community lacks an exhaustive understanding of the challenges associated with developing robust\, reliable\, and channel-resilient radio fingerprinting through deep-learning approaches for practical applications. Key challenges are the non-stationarity of the wireless channel\, and the dynamic effects introduced by the operational environment\, which significantly limit fingerprinting applications by obscuring the hardware impairments associated with the transmitted waveform.\nIn this thesis\, we (i) develop a full-fledged\, systematic investigation to quantify the impact of the wireless channel by providing a first-of-its-kind evaluation on deep-learning-based fingerprinting algorithms\, examining the worst-case scenario (employing devices with identical radio circuitry) and at scale; (ii) develop large-scale open datasets for radio fingerprinting collected in diverse\, rich\, channel conditions and environments\, and using different technologies\, including WiFi and LoRa; (iii) identify conditions where hardware impairments are still detectable; and (iv) design\, implement\, and benchmark new data-driven algorithms to counter the degradation introduced by the wireless channel. Notably\, we propose a generalized\, real-time channel- and adversary-resilient data-driven approach to authenticate wireless devices at scale in practical scenarios. To the best of our knowledge\, our work for the first time improves the fingerprinting accuracy of the worst-case scenario with up to 4x and 6.3x for WiFi and LoRa technologies\, respectively.

SUMMARY:Qing Jin's PhD Proposal Review
DESCRIPTION:“Decoupling Efficiency-Performance Optimization for Modern Neural Networks” \nCommittee:\n\nProf. Yanzhi Wang (Advisor)\nProf. David R. Kaeli\nProf. Sunil Mittal\nProf. Jennifer Dy \n\nAbstract:\n\nDeep learning has achieved remarkable success in a variety of modern applications\, but this success is often accompanied by inefficiency in terms of storage and inference speed\, which can hinder their practical use on resource-constrained hardware. Developing highly efficient neural networks that maintain high prediction accuracy is crucial and challenging. This dissertation explores the potential for simultaneously achieving high efficiency and high prediction accuracy in neural networks\, and can be broadly divided into three sections. (1) In Section One\, we explore the implementation of highly efficient generative adversarial networks (GANs) capable of generating high-quality images within a predefined computational budget. The key challenge lies in identifying the optimal architecture for the generative model while simultaneously preserving the quality of the generated images from the compressed model\, despite its reduced computational cost. To achieve this\, we propose a novel neural architecture search (NAS) algorithm and a new knowledge distillation technique. (2) In Section Two\, we explore the challenge of quantizing discriminative models without relying on high-precision multiplications. To address this issue\, we present an innovative approach to determine the optimal fixed-point formats for both weights and activations based on their statistical properties. Our results demonstrate that high accuracy in quantized neural networks can be achieved without the need for high-precision multiplications. (3) In Section Three\, we delve into the challenge of training neural networks for innovative computing platforms\, specifically processing-in-memory (PIM) systems. Through a detailed mathematical derivation of the backward propagation algorithm\, we facilitate the training of quantized models on these platforms. Additionally\, through a thorough theoretical analysis of training dynamics\, we ensure convergence and propose a systematic solution for quantizing neural networks on PIM systems.

SUMMARY:Kubra Alemdar's PhD Proposal Review
DESCRIPTION:“Overcoming and Engineering Wireless Signals for Communication and Computation” \nAbstract: \nThe phenomenal growth of connected devices\, especially rapid expansion of IoT networks and the increasing demand for wireless services are the main driving forces for the evolution of wireless technologies. However\, the realization of such technologies requires a radical transformation of existing infrastructures to satisfy the needs of changing wireless environments. The main limitation in delivering these systems stems from a huge diversity in their demands and constraints. To address this limitation\, this dissertation shows how wireless signals and their interaction with and within wireless propagation domain can be used as communication or computational tools that enable us to achieve certain novel tasks. Specifically\, we build i) cross-functionality architectures to engineer the wireless channel to a) enable the operation of emerging technologies\, and b) demonstrate a new paradigm for computing with wireless signals\, and ii) intelligently shape the wireless channel to create reliable communication links. \nThis dissertation presents an experimentally validated software-hardware system to deliver three key contributions: We present a physical layer solution for distributed networks that provides over-the-air (OTA) clock synchronization\, called as RFCLOCK\, to overcome the hurdle of implementing fine-grained synchronization for emerging technologies. We first develop the theory for such precision synchronization and second implement it in a custom-design\, which is compatible with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software-defined radios (SDRs). We compare the performance of RFClock with popular wired and GPS-based hardware solutions\, both in terms of clock performance\, as well as impact on distributed beamforming. \nNext\, we propose an RIS-based (reconfigurable reflecting surface) spatio-temporal approach to enhance the link reliability for IoTs where sensors are small-factor designs with single-antenna in rich multipath environment. We demonstrate the design of RIS and how it can effectively perturb the environment\, generating multiple wireless propagation channels and achieving performance of multi-antenna receiver in a Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) link. We compare the performance of the system with multi-antenna receiver in terms of channel hardening and outage probability. \nFinally\, we propose AirFC\, a system harnessing the capability of OTA computation to run inference on a neural network (NN) consisting of a set of fully connected layers (FC) by leveraging multi-antenna systems. We experimentally demonstrate and validate that such computation is accurate enough when compared to its digital counterpart. \nAs part of proposed research ahead\, we will address the challenges of realizing RIS-assisted communication in non-stationary conditions where the wireless channel can abruptly change due to the dynamic environment. We will first demonstrate the conditions in which conventional channel estimation methods cannot be utilized. We will then propose a learning method to create directional beams through reflections from RIS towards target locations without estimating the channel. \nLocation: 632 ISEC \nCommittee: \nProf. Kaushik Chowdhury (Advisor) \nProf. Marvin Onabajo \nProf. Josep Jornet

SUMMARY:Yiyue Jiang's PhD Proposal Review
DESCRIPTION:“FPGA-based Accelerator of Neural Networks for Digital Predistortion” \nCommittee: \nProf. Miriam Leeser (Advisor) \nProf. John Dooley \nProf. Stefano Basagni \nAbstract: \nPower Amplifiers (PAs) are an essential part of wireless communications. \nAs wireless standards evolve and become more demanding\,  the requirements for PAs change as well.  Specifically\, PAs need to balance linearity and energy efficiency while adhering to 5G wireless standards and beyond. PA behaviors differ based on several criteria\, including the type of PA\, power levels\, and the environment. To overcome the nonlinear behavior of a PA\, a flexible system to achieve digital predistortion (DPD) is required that can rapidly adapt to its environment. \nIn many situations\, traditional methods such as the memory polynomial model cannot adapt to all these factors. Neural networks have been used for some years in RF and microwave engineering. Early work demonstrated the suitability of neural networks to model complicated active device characteristics. Current neural network based DPD systems all do the training offline and are therefore not real-time systems. To reduce the cost to upgrade hardware and to provide more flexibility to different power amplifiers’ linearization needs\, a specific neural network based reconfigurable\, adaptive\, and real-time digital predistortion system is proposed. This system targets Zynq All Programmable System on Chip (SoC) devices which feature an ARM processor and FPGA together with RF frontend on the same chip. The system proposed in this research combines real-time DPD with on-chip training. Furthermore\, most research on FPGA based inference accelerators targets classification problems with probability output. There is no accelerator working on the signal processing problem focusing on sample-by-sample output. Our proposed system is optimized in both algorithm and implementation targeting sample-by-sample processing with high accuracy and real-time efficiency. \n
