Abstract
En 中文
The Internet of Things (IoT) is scaling rapidly to billions of low power devices, with diverse radio technologies sharing common unlicensed spectrum. Inevitably, this results in rampant cross-technology collisions between the devices that lead to wasteful re-transmissions, draining the battery life of low-power devices significantly. We present CharIoT, the first cross-technology distributed MIMO receiver system that exploits the potential of distributed MIMO to facilitate better co-existence and decoding of a large number of simultaneous low power uplink transmissions from unmodified low-power clients. CharIoT is a recovery-based system that intelligently collects radio samples from teams of light-weight IoT gateways and streams them to the cloud to effectively resolve collisions. At the cloud, CharIoT develops a suite of technology-specific software filters that decouple collisions across diverse technologies, facilitating seamless co-existence across low power radios. An implementation of CharIoT on inexpensive RTL-SDR gateways connected to Raspberry Pis decode collisions of four popular IoT technologies in the 868MHz ISM bands - LoRa, XBee, Z-Wave, and SIGFOX showing gains in throughput of up to 4x and battery life of up to 3.5 years.
