Title:

The future of wireless and what it will enable

Speaker :Andrea Goldsmith

Abstract:

Wireless technology has enormous potential to change the way we live, work, and play over the next several decades. Future wireless networks will support 100 Gbpscommunication between people, devices, and the “Internet of Things,” with high reliability and uniform coverage indoors and out. The shortage of spectrum to support such systems will be alleviated by advances in massive MIMO and mmW technology as well as cognitive radios. Wireless technology will also enable smart and energy-efficient homes and buildings, automated highways and skyways, and in-body networks for monitoring, analysis and treatment of medical conditions. Breakthrough energy-efficiency architectures, algorithms and hardware will allow wireless networks to be powered by tiny batteries, energy-harvesting, or over-the-air power transfer. Finally, new communication systems based on biology and chemistry to encode bits will enable a wide range of new micro and macroscale applications. There are many technical challenges that must be overcome in order to make this vision a reality. This talk will describe what the wireless future might look like along with some of the innovations and breakthroughs required to realize this vision.

Title:

New Paradigm in Energy Harvesting Wireless Communication

Speaker :Shuguang Cui

Abstract:

Energy harvesting from the environment provides solutions for several critical challenges in building future ICT systems: reduce utility bills, control carbon pollution, and enable everlasting power supplies in IoT applications. In this talk, we first review the recent developments in the field of energy harvesting wireless communication, followed by a specific case study over an energy harvesting communication system. We then focus on the discussions of several promising directions in this new paradigm: the concept of power access vs. spectrum access, the exploration of energy diversity, and the system/network/link multilevel information and energy joint management.
