| contents | Efficiently retrieving relevant data from massive Internet of Things (IoT) networks is essential for downstream tasks such as machine learning. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing a novel data sourcing protocol that combines semantic queries and random access. The key idea is that the destination node broadcasts a semantic query describing the desired information, and the sensors that have data matching the query then respond by transmitting their observations over a shared random access channel, for example to perform joint inference at the destination. However, this approach introduces a tradeoff between maximizing the retrieval of relevant data and minimizing data loss due to collisions on the shared channel. We analyze this tradeoff under a tractable Gaussian mixture model and optimize the semantic matching threshold to maximize the number of relevant retrieved observations. The protocol and the analysis are then extended to handle a more realistic neural network-based model for complex sensing. Under both models, experimental results in classification scenarios demonstrate that the proposed protocol is superior to traditional random access, and achieves a near-optimal balance between inference accuracy and the probability of missed detection, highlighting its effectiveness for semantic query-based data sourcing in massive IoT networks. |
