Sustainable Next-Geneneration IoT: RF-Enabled Sensing, Powering, and Communication |
In a world where approximately 5% of the global electricity is consumed by wireless networks, there is an opportunity to adapt the next generation of wireless networks, from cellular to the Internet of Everything (IoE), to perform more functionalities beyond communication. This presentation will showcase how we can transition from RF-connected electronics to RF-enabled electronics. Examples of the three enabling technologies: (a) RF power transfer and harvesting; (b) RF sensing; (c) RF communication, will be discussed and their ability to co-exist will also be evaluated. Emerging examples and challenges including biomedical and wearable IoE applications, environmental footprint minimization, and future electronics manufacturing methods will also be showcased. |
