MOLECULAR COMMUNICATIONS..EVOLUTION IS NEAR..!!

Molecular communication is an emerging paradigm where bio-nanomachines (e.g., artificial cells, genetically engineered cells) communicate to perform coordinated actions. Unlike traditional communication systems which utilize electromagnetic waves, molecular communications utilize biological molecules both as carriers and as information. The advantages provided by this “molecular” approach to communications are size, biocompatibility, and biostability. 


Examples of applications are drug delivery system (DDS), bio-hybrid implants, and lab-on-a-chip (LoC) systems. This trend is not ready for mass market but with an approach so radically different to Today’s communications, following its developments is a must

GREEN COMMUNICATIONS

It is being reported that communications technologies are responsible for about 2-4% of all of carbon footprint generated by human activity. This highlights the need to focus on managing these numbers, and Green communications is doing just that. The trend is tackling first mobile networks because of their high energy use. Basestations and switching centers could count for between 60% and 85% of the energy used by an entire communication system. Environmentally friendly batteries, renewable energy sources, and intelligent management of the power systems are some of the proposed solutions. Besides this mobile network focus, there is a 2015 and beyond trend to manage total energy usage, compute-to-consumption ratios and performance KPIs for best in class green operations

5G the future of communication ..!!

As the next step in the continuous innovation and evolution of the mobile industry, 5G will not only be about a new air interface with faster speeds, but it will also address network congestion, energy efficiency, cost, reliability, and connection to billions of people and devices. In 2014 we heard of new antenna/RF technologies (Massive MIMO, wider bandwidths), proposed deployment of small cells in higher mmWave frequencies, shorter transmission time intervals, reduced latency, and possibly new modulation methods beyond OFDM. With a 2020 commercialization horizon, 2016 be the year when we move from these concepts to technology trials and standards development. And we shall see if/how this year’s ITU World Radio Conference (WRC-15) tackles 5G’s spectrum aspects.

Project Loon : internet every where...!!!

Google whimsically named Project Loon aims to ensure that every person has Internet access.

The effort relies on balloons that float in the stratosphere. Google plans to lease the Project Loon platform to wireless carriers around the world. This allows Internet service providers to use wireless spectrum they currently own and connect it to the balloon network. 

Google has recently developed an innovative system that makes it possible to pilot the balloons without an on board fuel source. This new development means that it could possibly provide Internet access to the every corner of the planet.

Car-to-Car communication

Many people are uncomfortable with the idea of “driverless cars”. General Motors is working with the University of Michigan and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to develop new software for cars that enhance safety without relinquishing control.

 Car-to-car communication systems transmit their position, speed, break engagement, and other data to all vehicles that are nearby. Algorithms sift through data that is collected many times each second and alert the driver in case of danger.  These systems have the potential to make driving much safer and greatly reduce the number of accidents
