Optical and Wireless sensor Networks for 6G scenarios

EU project OWIN6G goals

• Train a new generation of doctoral candidates with in IoT/IoE-inspired RF/optical wireless sensor networks (WSNs)
• Research novel photonic sensor technologies, hybrid RF/optical energy-harvesting transceivers and PoE/PLC backbone networks.
• Research energy-efficient MAC protocols, apply SDN concepts for security purposes and develop an optimization framework for future 6G WSNs
• Apply the OWIN6G tech into key applications including body-area networks, e-health, air quality monitoring and localization
