Self-Powered loT Nodes and 5G Systems for Smart Communities

毫米波频谱被考虑用于5G系统，以从根本上提高数据速率和单位面积的设备数量。在这个框架中，高定向可重构和多波束天线架构可以成为提供5G承诺的性能的关键参与者。此外，第5代移动网络(5G)和物联网(IoT)设备必须可扩展、灵活、多用途、高能效，从而可以轻松地转移到商业流程中。新设备将需要感知环境条件，适应用户需求，并进行自我组织，以实现万物互联的愿景。该计划的最终目标和目标是为5G和物联网开发新的智能设备，其中适应性、传感和智能将是天线系统不可或缺的一部分。该项目的主要动机是新兴的5G和物联网技术在我们生活的方方面面快速发展。合作伙伴TELUS Communications Inc.目前使用商用现成产品进行传感器和天线技术。我们将通过实现以下一系列技术目标来实现我们的目标：开发定向多波束天线以提供毫米波频率的定向波束扫描、开发用于天线智能波束成形的机器学习(ML)算法、集成物联网传感器天线、开发自供电物联网和医疗保健物联网(IoHT)节点。TELUS将利用研究成果影响未来对物联网、精准农业、智慧城市和其他需要遥感技术的业务垂直领域的高级无线传感器环境的需求。除了影响未来的运营和采购活动，TELUS希望最终能够利用这项研究产生的技术创新，最好是来自加拿大公司的技术创新，将子系统商业化。

The millimeter-wave (mm-wave) spectrum is considered for 5G systems to radically boost the data rate and thedevices per unit area. In this framework, High-Directive Reconfigurable and Multi-Beams Antennaarchitectures can be key players to deliver the performance that 5G promises. Moreover, the 5th generation mobile networks (5G) and Internet of Things (IoT) devices must be scalable, flexible, multi-purpose, energy-efficient, and thus, easily transferrable into the stream of commerce. The new devices will need to sense environmental conditions, adapt to userrequirements, and be self-organizing to realize the Internet of Everything vision.The ultimate goal and objective of this program is to develop the new smart devices for the 5G and IoT in which adaptability, sensing, and intelligence will be an integral part of the antenna system. This project is primarily motivated by the rapid development of emerging 5G and IoT technologies in all aspects of our lives. The Partner, TELUS Communications Inc, currently uses commercial off-the-shelf products for sensor and antenna technology. We will deliver on our objective by accomplishing sequential technical goals of developing directive multi-beam antennas to provide directional beams scanning at mm-wave frequencies, developing Machine Learning (ML) algorithms for intelligent beam shaping of antennas, integrating IoT Sensor Antenna, and developing self-powered IoT and Internet of Healthcare Things (IoHT) nodes.TELUS will take research results to influence future requirements generation for advanced wireless sensor environments for the IoT, precision agriculture, smart cities, and other business vertical pursuits requiring remote sensing technology. Beyond influencing future operations and procurement exercises, TELUS hopes to ultimately be able to commercially exploit subsystems utilizing technology innovations resulting from this research, ideally from Canadian companies.
