Design and Implementation of Optical Wireless Communications with Optically Powered Smart Dust Motes
Low energy wireless communications and energy scavenging systems are highly relevant for future sensor networks and the internet of things. System described operates at communications energies two orders of magnitude lower than typical RF based sensor nodes, and results indicate the future potential of this technique. Beamsteering technique that was developed is being exploited as part of the TSB funded project 'Hyperion' (EP/K504038/1 £1.1M overall, £325k Oxford) in collaboration with EADS. Also led to collaborative project with Samsung ('Towards Terabit Wireless: Techniques and Architectures' $150k funding to Oxford).
