Abstracts: April 16, 2024

Get ready for a short and sweet episode of Abstracts, where you get to hear about the latest and greatest achievements in the Microsoft research community. In this episode, Senior Research Software Engineer Tusher Chakraborty joins host Gretchen Huizinga to discuss the paper "Spectrumize: Spectrum-efficient Satellite Networks for the Internet of Things."

The paper was recently accepted at the 2024 USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI), and outlines Chakraborty's team's efforts to make IoT connectivity more reliable and affordable via satellite-based networks. Specifically, they propose a method that leverages the motion of small satellites to facilitate efficient communication between a large IoT-satellite constellation and devices on Earth within a limited spectrum. Tune in to hear more about the innovative approach and its potential impact on the IoT space.
