New tech for tackling increasing demand by 'internet of things' on mobile networks

A novel technology to manage demands on mobile networks from multiple users using terahertz frequencies has been developed by University of Leicester computer scientists. As we see an explosion of devices joining the ""internet of things,"" this solution could not only improve speed and power consumption for users of mobile devices but could also help reap the benefits from the next generation of mobile technologies, 6G. These systems suffer from the self-interference problem, which severely affects communication quality and efficiency. To deal with these challenges, a technique known as multicarrier-division duplex (MDD) has been recently proposed and studied, which allows a receiver in the network to be nearly free of self-interference in the digital domain by relying only on fast Fourier transform (FFT) processing. The team tested their technology in a simulation based on a real-world industrial setting, and a 10% power consumption reduction was achieved.
