An important class of cyber-physical systems relies on multiple agents that jointly perform a task by coordinating their actions over a wireless network. Examples include self-driving cars in intelligent transportation and production robots in smart manufacturing. However, the scalability of existing control-over-wireless solutions is limited as th...

Many-to-all communication is a prerequisite for many applications and network services, including distributed control and data replication. However, current solutions do not meet the scalability and latency requirements of emerging applications. This paper presents Mixer, a many-to-all broadcast primitive for dynamic wireless mesh networks. Mixer i...

Recovery guarantees in compressed sensing (CS) often require upper bounds on the noise level. The robustness with respect to additive errors of unknown power depends on quotient bounds of the measurement matrix. For isotropic random matrices like iid. Gaussian matrices these bounds are known to behave well. In this work we focus instead on explicit...

Many applications such as autonomous swarming drones and system services like data replication need to exchange data among many or all nodes in a network. However, wireless many-to-many broadcast has thus far only been studied theoretically or in simulation , and practical solutions hardly meet the requirements of emerging applications, especially...

In this demonstration, we present a prototype of a cross- technology communication (CTC) system that allows a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device to directly send data to a Wi-Fi device using commodity hardware. Towards this goal, we use energy burst patterns to encode information on overlapping channel frequencies. With this demonstration, we prove...

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) use distributed feedback loops to control physical processes. Designing practical distributed CPS controllers often benefits from a logically centralized approach, where each node computes the control law locally based on global knowledge of the system state. We present Mixer, an all-to-all communication scheme that ena...
