Optical and wireless sensors networks for 6G scenarios - -OWIN6G

Lead Research Organisation: Northumbria University
Department Name: Fac of Engineering and Environment

Abstract

OWIN6G will be the first Training Network dedicated to the field of wireless sensor network for Inter-of-things / Internet-of-everything as part of the 6G and beyond by focusing on novel sensors, solar-cells for power and optical detection, and the hybrid radio frequency-optical wireless technologies, as well as introducing machine learning for adoptability and optimization. OWIN6G interdisciplinary nature sets it apart from most other existing research programs, in which the focus is on one of the aforementioned disciplines. The program will (i) enhance understanding, knowledge and skills on research and project management for doctorate candidates, (ii) promote and broaden awareness of the subject to those working in the field and beyond; and (iii) produce novel and original scientific contributions in accordance the objectives.
