Today, we have seen a huge number of IoT devices deployed in various scenarios, such as warehouse, smart retail, etc. The vision is that we are going to embrace a world where IoT devices are ubiquitously deployed. This brings us with both opportunities and challenges. On one side, the ubiquitously deployed IoT devices and the pervasive wireless signal provide us with a vehicle to sense and perceive the world. On another hand, however, this vision of IoT is still limited by the disconnection between the increased number of IoT devices and the limited channel resource. Frequent collision and interference among the signal of the IoT devices lead to poor communication reliability and throughput of IoT.
