#molecular #communications #6G

Nous aurons le plaisir d'accueillir le professeur Andrew W. Eckford de l'Université York. Le professor Eckford est "Distinguished Lecturer" de la société Communications de l'IEEE. Il viendra nous parler des communications moléculaires pour la 6G.

Résumé:

6G wireless systems are expected to offer ubiquitous connectivity in presently under-served areas, potentially provided by satellite- and space-based internet-of-things applications. In the search for enabling technologies to achieve these expectations, molecular communication is an important alternative to conventional electromagnetic-based wireless communication. In this talk, we give a brief introduction to molecular communication, and discuss how it may be used to communicate in "wave-denied" environments, where connectivity is desired but wireless cannot be used. We also show that molecular communication can achieve surprisingly high information rates, theoretically unlimited and practically in the gigabit-per-second range, making it a compelling technology for 6G. We finish with a discussion of the current state of the field and propose some experimental next steps.

High-speed molecular communication: a solution for 6G?

6G wireless systems are expected to offer ubiquitous connectivity in presently under-served areas, potentially provided by satellite- and space-based internet-of-things applications.
