Science Daily September 5, 2023 A simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT)-enabled nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system has been recognized as a promising technology for enabling the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), as it extends the lifetime of small battery-driven sensors. However, its energy efficiency significantly decreases with distance from the central controller. Researchers in South Korea proposed a framework for applying SWIPT-aided NOMA system to a distributed antenna system (DAS) to improve the spectral efficiency and energy efficiency of the IIoT. They optimized the power allocation for the NOMA signaling and power splitting for SWIPT in the DAS […]

Researchers use infrared light to wirelessly transmit power over 30 meters
Science Daily August 30, 2022 Researchers in South Korea used an erbium-doped fiber amplifier optical power source with a central wavelength of 1550 nm. and wavelength division multiplexing filter that created a narrowband beam with optical power within the safety limits for free space propagation. They optimized distributed laser charging which enables self-alignment without tracking processes and automatically shifts to a safe low power delivery mode if an object or a person blocks the line of sight. They incorporated a spherical ball lens retroreflector in the receiver unit to facilitate 360-degree transmitter-receiver alignment, which maximized the power transfer efficiency. The […]
