Towards High-Speed Passive Visible Light Communication with Event Cameras and Digital Micro-Mirrors

Passive visible light communication (VLC) modulates light propagation or reflection to transmit data without directly modulating the light source. Thus, passive VLC provides an alternative to conventional VLC, enabling communication where the light source cannot be directly controlled. There have been ongoing efforts to explore new methods and devices for modulating light propagation or reflection. The state-of-the-art has broken the 100 kbps data rate barrier for passive VLC by using a digital micro-mirror device (DMD) as the light modulating platform, or transmitter, and a photo-diode as the receiver. We significantly extend this work by proposing a massive spatial data channel framework for DMDs, where individual channels can be decoded in parallel using an event camera at the receiver. For the event camera, we introduce event processing algorithms to detect numerous channels and decode bits from individual channels with high reliability. Our prototype, built with off-the-shelf event cameras and DMDs, can decode up to $\sim$2,000 parallel channels, achieving a data transmission rate of 1.6 Mbps, markedly surpassing current benchmarks by 16x.

Designing Network Algorithms via Large Language Models

We introduce NADA, the first framework to autonomously design network algorithms by leveraging the generative capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Starting with an existing algorithm implementation, NADA enables LLMs to create a wide variety of alternative designs in the form of code blocks. It then efficiently identifies the top-performing designs through a series of filtering techniques, minimizing the need for full-scale evaluations and significantly reducing computational costs. Using adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming as a case study, we demonstrate that NADA produces novel ABR algorithms -- previously unknown to human developers -- that consistently outperform the original algorithm in diverse network environments, including broadband, satellite, 4G, and 5G.
