Battery life remains a critical challenge for mobile devices, yet existing power management mechanisms rely on static rules or coarse-grained heuristics that ignore user activities and personal preferences. We present PowerLens, a system that tames the reasoning power of Large Language Models (LLMs) for safe and personalized mobile power management on Android devices. The key idea is that LLMs' commonsense reasoning can bridge the semantic gap between user activities and system parameters, enabling zero-shot, context-aware policy generation that adapts to individual preferences through implicit feedback. PowerLens employs a multi-agent architecture that recognizes user context from UI semantics and generates holistic power policies across 18 device parameters. A PDL-based constraint framework verifies every action before execution, while a two-tier memory system learns individualized preferences from implicit user overrides through confidence-based distillation, requiring no explicit configuration and converging within 3--5 days. Extensive experiments on a rooted Android device show that PowerLens achieves 81.7% action accuracy and 38.8% energy saving over stock Android, outperforming rule-based and LLM-based baselines, with high user satisfaction, fast preference convergence, and strong safety guarantees, with the system itself consuming only 0.5% of daily battery capacity.

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar enables privacy-preserving human activity recognition (HAR), yet real-world deployment remains hindered by costly annotation and poor transferability under domain shift. Although prior efforts partially alleviate these challenges, most still require retraining or adaptation for each new deployment setting. This keeps mmWave HAR in a repeated collect-tune-redeploy cycle, making scalable real-world deployment difficult. In this paper, we present RAGent, a deployment-time training-free framework for mmWave HAR that reformulates recognition as evidence-grounded inference over reusable radar knowledge rather than deployment-specific model optimization. Offline, RAGent constructs a reusable radar knowledge base through constrained cross-modal supervision, where a Vision-Language Model (VLM) transfers activity semantics from synchronized videos to paired radar segments without manual radar annotation. At deployment time, RAGent recognizes activities from radar alone by retrieving physically comparable precedents in an explicit kinematic space and resolving the final label through structured multi-role reasoning. The reasoning protocol is further refined offline through zero-gradient self-evolution. Extensive experiments on a self-collected dataset show that RAGent achieves 93.39% accuracy without per-domain retraining or target-domain adaptation, while generalizing robustly across domains.

Rapid advances in speech synthesis and audio editing have made realistic forgeries increasingly accessible, yet existing detection methods remain vulnerable to tampering or depend on visual/wearable sensors. In this paper, we present VoxAnchor, a system that physically grounds audio authentication in vocal dynamics by leveraging the inherent coherence between speech acoustics and radar-sensed throat vibrations. VoxAnchor uses contactless millimeter-wave radar to capture fine-grained throat vibrations that are tightly coupled with human speech production, establishing a hard-to-forge anchor rooted in human physiology. The design comprises three main components: (1) a cross-modal frame-work that uses modality-specific encoders and contrastive learning to detect subtle mismatches at word granularity; (2) a phase-aware pipeline that extracts physically consistent, temporally faithful throat vibrations; and (3) a dual-stage strategy that combines signal-level onset detection and semantic-level coherence to align asynchronous radar and audio streams. Unlike liveness detection, which only confirms whether speech occurred, VoxAnchor verifies what was spoken through word-level content consistency, exposing localized edits that preserve identity and global authenticity cues. Extensive evaluations show that VoxAnchor achieves robust, fine-grained detection across diverse forgeries (editing, splicing, replay, deepfake) and conditions, with an overall EER of 0.017, low latency, and modest computational cost.

The incorporation of Large Language Models (LLMs) into smart transportation systems has paved the way for improving data management and operational efficiency. This study introduces TransCompressor, a novel framework that leverages LLMs for efficient compression and decompression of multimodal transportation sensor data. TransCompressor has undergone thorough evaluation with diverse sensor data types, including barometer, speed, and altitude measurements, across various transportation modes like buses, taxis, and MTRs. Comprehensive evaluation illustrates the effectiveness of TransCompressor in reconstructing transportation sensor data at different compression ratios. The results highlight that, with well-crafted prompts, LLMs can utilize their vast knowledge base to contribute to data compression processes, enhancing data storage, analysis, and retrieval in smart transportation settings.

There is a burgeoning discussion around the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in acting as fundamental components that can be seamlessly incorporated into Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) to interpret complex trajectories. This study introduces LLMTrack, a model that illustrates how LLMs can be leveraged for Zero-Shot Trajectory Recognition by employing a novel single-prompt technique that combines role-play and think step-by-step methodologies with unprocessed Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data. We evaluate the model using real-world datasets designed to challenge it with distinct trajectories characterized by indoor and outdoor scenarios. In both test scenarios, LLMTrack not only meets but exceeds the performance benchmarks set by traditional machine learning approaches and even contemporary state-of-the-art deep learning models, all without the requirement of training on specialized datasets. The results of our research suggest that, with strategically designed prompts, LLMs can tap into their extensive knowledge base and are well-equipped to analyze raw sensor data with remarkable effectiveness.

Embedded IoT system development is crucial for enabling seamless connectivity and functionality across a wide range of applications. However, such a complex process requires cross-domain knowledge of hardware and software and hence often necessitates direct developer involvement, making it labor-intensive, time-consuming, and error-prone. To address this challenge, this paper introduces EmbedGenius, the first fully automated software development platform for general-purpose embedded IoT systems. The key idea is to leverage the reasoning ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) and embedded system expertise to automate the hardware-in-the-loop development process. The main methods include a component-aware library resolution method for addressing hardware dependencies, a library knowledge generation method that injects utility domain knowledge into LLMs, and an auto-programming method that ensures successful deployment. We evaluate EmbedGenius's performance across 71 modules and four mainstream embedded development platforms with over 350 IoT tasks. Experimental results show that EmbedGenius can generate codes with an accuracy of 95.7% and complete tasks with a success rate of 86.5%, surpassing human-in-the-loop baselines by 15.6%--37.7% and 25.5%--53.4%, respectively. We also show EmbedGenius's potential through case studies in environmental monitoring and remote control systems development.
