Fifth-generation (5G) is the latest cellular network technology in telecommunications.

Key Points: 
  • Fifth-generation (5G) is the latest cellular network technology in telecommunications.
  • Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) and sub-terahertz (sub-THz) communication is a key technology for supporting the required network capabilities of 5G and beyond.
  • Recently, a team of researchers led by Dr. Song Noh of the Incheon National University reviewed channel estimation technology for RIS-assisted systems in mm-wave and sub-THz bands.
  • They can also reduce the energy consumption of radio access networks and alleviate the impact of mobile networks on the environment.

HEIDELBERG, Germany, Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NEC Laboratories Europe achieves a major milestone in advancing wireless communications by developing the first working prototype of a fully passive smart surface.

Key Points: 
  • HEIDELBERG, Germany, Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NEC Laboratories Europe achieves a major milestone in advancing wireless communications by developing the first working prototype of a fully passive smart surface.
  • Wireless signals are inherently unstable in large environments: limited signal strength and objects within wireless zones affect signal range and interfere with device connectivity.
  • Smart surfaces, also known as reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), are arrays of programmable electronic material that control and amplify wireless signals within a targeted environment.
  • Located in Heidelberg, Germany, major research areas of NEC Laboratories Europe include artificial intelligence, blockchain security, 5G and 6G networks, and IoT platforms.
