A Survey on IoT Ground Sensing Systems for Early Wildfire Detection: Technologies, Challenges and Opportunities
Chiu Chun Chan, Sheeraz A. Alvi, Xiangyun Zhou +3
The threat posed by wildfires or bushfires has become a severe global issue due to the increase in human activities in forested areas and the impact of climate change. Consequently…
UAV-assisted IoT Monitoring Network: Adaptive Multiuser Access for Low-Latency and High-Reliability Under Bursty Traffic
Nilupuli Senadhira, Salman Durrani, Sheeraz A. Alvi +2
In this work, we propose an adaptive system design for an Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring network with latency and reliability requirements, where IoT devices generate time-cri…
Federated Learning Cost Disparity for IoT Devices
Sheeraz A. Alvi, Yi Hong, Salman Durrani
Federated learning (FL) promotes predictive model training at the Internet of things (IoT) devices by evading data collection cost in terms of energy, time, and privacy. We model t…
Spectrum Allocation with Adaptive Sub-band Bandwidth for Terahertz Communication Systems
Akram Shafie, Nan Yang, Sheeraz Alvi +3
We study spectrum allocation for terahertz (THz) band communication (THzCom) systems, while considering the frequency and distance-dependent nature of THz channels. Different from…
Utility Fairness for the Differentially Private Federated Learning
Sheeraz A. Alvi, Yi Hong, Salman Durrani
Federated learning (FL) allows predictive model training on the sensed data in a wireless Internet of things (IoT) network evading data collection cost in terms of energy, time, an…
Sequencing and Scheduling for Multi-User Machine-Type Communication
Sheeraz A. Alvi, Xiangyun Zhou, Salman Durrani +1
In this paper, we propose joint sequencing and scheduling optimization for uplink machine-type communication (MTC). We consider multiple energy-constrained MTC devices that transmi…
Optimal Compression and Transmission Rate Control for Node-Lifetime Maximization
Sheeraz A. Alvi, Xiangyun Zhou, Salman Durrani
We consider a system that is composed of an energy constrained sensor node and a sink node, and devise optimal data compression and transmission policies with an objective to prolo…
