Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) is the next big thing. Sitting at the core of any IoT networks is its gateways, which bridge the IoT devices with central cloud or control centres. This talk will look into four major challenges faced by modern IoT gateways: 1) edge intelligence to support local processing; 2) ubiquitous access to support heterogeneous wireless networks used by different IoT devices; 3) wireless energy supply to combat battery depletion; and finally 4) portability as enabled by UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). The above four aspects are integrated into a portable and flexible IoT gateway. Some algorithms for joint resource allocation and UAV trajectory design are introduced. The talk concludes with discussions on future opportunities in this exciting research area.
摘要：物联网的核心是物联网关，这个报告将从现代物联网关的四个核心难点痛点进行技术探讨：1）边缘智能，2）对多种无线网络技术的泛在接入，3）对电池供电的物联设备进行无线射频传能；4）便携移动性。报告将四者结合到了无人机中以支持便携式柔性物联网关。在此基础上给出资源（包括通信和计算资源）和UAV航程的联合设计算法以及未来研究方向。
