Wireless Communications for Advanced Internet of Things: A Unifying Data-Oriented Approach



Abstract

Wireless communication systems will play an essential role in data transmissions for future Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Future IoT applications generate data traffics of variable sizes and dramatically different quality of service requirements, ranging from ultra-reliable low-latency (URLL) transmission to extremely energy-efficient transmission. In this talk, we present a unique data-oriented approach for the design and analysis of wireless transmission systems for advanced IoT applications. Novel data-oriented performance metrics are proposed and applied to establish performance limits for individual data transmission sessions. We present several design examples to demonstrate how the data-oriented approach will facilitate a common physical transmission infrastructure for diverse traffic types. Finally, we conclude with several potential future research directions.
