New York . A team of Indian-American researchers is developing smartphone technology that will use existing 5G and emerging 6G wireless systems to view and map the surrounding environment.
Mapping the user’s surroundings will improve communications by identifying obstacles that may interfere with radio frequency signals.
Mobile wireless devices have gradually transformed from mere communication devices to powerful computing platforms, which include multiple sensors such as cameras and radars, said Harpreet Dhillon of the Virginia Tech College of Engineering.
In fact, when we buy a new phone, the main considerations are its camera quality, processing speed, memory and sensors, while hardly anyone checks its frequency band.
As this is one of the first attempts to comprehensively analyze vision-guided wireless systems, it is expected to have a significant impact on future generations of wireless, Dhillon said in a statement.
College of Engineering professors Walid Saad and Dhillon have been awarded a $1 million grant to develop a vision-guided wireless system.
Researchers in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) want to take the multi-use function of cellular devices even further with the idea of vision-guided wireless systems.
Saad said, in 6G we talk about high frequency bands like terahertz.
These higher frequencies can provide higher rates and higher bandwidth, but the problem is that signals are much more susceptible to interference than lower frequencies.
While these interruptions may seem troubling, they can actually be the key to helping researchers improve communication.
