RadioMaster: Multi-Agent System for Autonomous Radio Signal Generation

Translating user intent into physical radio signals is the last critical step in wireless prototyping. It chains protocol planning, baseband synthesis, and hardware configuration. Large language models and multi-agent systems have reshaped software engineering, raising the question of whether they can solve this problem. Yet current models fail at this task, even when augmented with domain tools. Because the stages run sequentially, an error at any stage propagates downstream, so the end-to-end success rate collapses toward zero even when each stage looks locally competent. We introduce RadioMaster, a fully autonomous multi-agent framework that drives user input to verified emissions transmitted over the air. It rests on three synergistic pillars. RadioWiki grounds generation in domain knowledge to suppress hallucination. RadioAgent decomposes the fragile pipeline into independently executable and locally recoverable stages. RadioEmulator gates deployment behind closed-loop physical-layer verification. We further build RadioBench, the first benchmark for autonomous radio signal generation. Extensive real-world evaluations show that RadioMaster substantially outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in configuration viability and signal fidelity, while reducing configuration time by up to 28x.

Enabling Agile Ambient IoT Networking via a Parameterized Hybrid Radio

The emergence of Ambient IoT signals a paradigm shift toward massive batteryless networking. However, the absence of an agile physical layer substrate remains a fundamental barrier to research and standardization. Current testbeds are hindered by decoupled radio paths, high static power, and cumbersome control methods, which stifle rapid protocol prototyping. In this paper, we present Janus, the first hybrid active-passive configurable radio architected for agile Ambient IoT networking. Janus introduces a parameterized architecture that unifies passive and active transmission into a single RF front end, abstracting complex physical layer behaviors into concise parameters. This design enables a system-level control plane for dynamic mode transitions and an energy management plane for fine-grained harvesting across multiple sources. We implement a compact PCB prototype and evaluate its performance across diverse protocol landscapes, including 3GPP A-IoT, IEEE 802.11 AMP, and Bluetooth SIG. Our experimental results demonstrate that Janus achieves communication performance on par with dedicated radios while significantly reducing configuration overhead. Ultimately, Janus serves as a versatile enabler for validating emerging protocols and accelerating the standardization of next-generation low-power networks.

Defending Against DDoS Attacks in Bloom Filter based Multicasting

This paper analyze security issues of Bloom filter based multicast forwarding mechanisms. Tree oriented approaches and destination oriented approaches are studied. We analyze the possible distributed denail of service (DDoS) against the Bloom filter based multicast with the destination oriented approach, which has never been analyzed before. We reveal some attack patterns that have not been studied in the literature. We also analyze the possible DDoS attacks against Bloom filter based multicast in the DCN context.

On Content-centric Wireless Delivery Networks

The flux of social media and the convenience of mobile connectivity has created a mobile data phenomenon that is expected to overwhelm the mobile cellular networks in the foreseeable future. Despite the advent of 4G/LTE, the growth rate of wireless data has far exceeded the capacity increase of the mobile networks. A fundamentally new design paradigm is required to tackle the ever-growing wireless data challenge. In this article, we investigate the problem of massive content delivery over wireless networks and present a systematic view on content-centric network design and its underlying challenges. Towards this end, we first review some of the recent advancements in Information Centric Networking (ICN) which provides the basis on how media contents can be labeled, distributed, and placed across the networks. We then formulate the content delivery task into a content rate maximization problem over a share wireless channel, which, contrasting the conventional wisdom that attempts to increase the bit-rate of a unicast system, maximizes the content delivery capability with a fixed amount of wireless resources. This conceptually simple change enables us to exploit the "content diversity" and the "network diversity" by leveraging the abundant computation sources (through application-layer encoding, pushing and caching, etc.) within the existing wireless networks. A network architecture that enables wireless network crowdsourcing for content delivery is then described, followed by an exemplary campus wireless network that encompasses the above concepts.

Exploiting the Unexploited of Coded Caching for Wireless Content Distribution: Detailed Theoretical Proofs

Recent studies show that the coded caching technique can facilitate the wireless content distribution by mitigating the wireless traffic rate during the peak-traffic time, where the contents are partially prefetched to the local cache of mobile devices during the off-peak time. The remaining contents are then jointly coded and delivered in multicast, when many content requests are initiated in the peak-traffic time. The requested contents can be recovered from the local-prefetched and multicast data with requesters experiencing less congestions. However, the benefit of the coded caching scheme is still under estimated, where the potential gain by appropriate caching distribution is under exploited. In this paper, we propose a theoretical model to minimize the average wireless traffic rate required in the coded caching, for which the optimized caching distribution is derived with the content popularity distribution taken into account. In order to improve the computational efficiency for determining the appropriate caching distribution, we transform the objective function from the average wireless traffic rate into the average size of un-prefetched contents. We theoretically show the order optimality of the derived results from both the primal model and the relaxed one. Simulation results show that the coded caching performance can be further improved with the derived caching distribution.
