Nuno Borges Carvalho

The energy needs for wireless systems are limiting the evolution of most of the IoT and 5 G future solutions In this talk, an overview of the energy problem in IoT wireless communication systems will be presented The main objective is to discuss future wireless paradigms that will be changing the energy aspects of IoT and IoS applications, which include the issue of battery less wireless devices, combining wireless power transmission and backscatter communications The talk starts first with a general overview of the energy needs for future XG networks and then presents the design of battery less wireless sensor networks Issues like the characterization and design of passive backscatter sensors will be discussed
