Virtual Distinguished Lecture: "Wireless Powered Communication: An Overview"
Hello,
About 24 hours left to register. Please hurry and register yourself for this presentation on WIRELESS POWERED COMMUNICATION by Dr. Rui Zhang who is with National University of Singapore.
Abstract:
Wireless powered communication (WPC) is a new wireless research paradigm where the battery of wireless communication devices is remotely replenished by means of microwave wireless power transfer (WPT) technology. WPT eliminates the need of frequent manual battery replacement/recharging, and hence significantly reduces the cost as well as enhances the performance of conventional battery-powered communication networks. However, the design and future applications of WPC are essentially challenged by the low WPT efficiency over long distance and the complex nature of coexisting wireless information and power transfer in the same network. In this talk, we will provide an overview of the key network architectures and performance enhancing techniques to build an efficient WPC network. Besides, recent research progress and promising directions for future work in WPC are also discussed.
