Novel Nanoscale Materials and Devices for Wireless Communication and Networking Applications

Abstract:

In the last decade, there have been immense technological developments throughout the world leading to much advancement in the technologies used in wireless communication systems. Massive ongoing research at nanometer length is set to meet the rising demand of the communication industry. So nanoscale materials and devices will play a major role in intelligent communication system. In this paper, we envisage the current and future applications of nanoscale materials and devices for wireless communication systems. It discusses about novel materials and devices that are being designed to provide enhanced and improved quality of service in terms of long range communication, improved performance, less power consumption, smaller size, energy efficient and robustness. We harness the properties and applications of materials at nanoscale dimensions by integrating them with the current technological requirements in terms of extremely high speed, intelligence, large capacity and swift interconnections. Such materials and devices would certainly leverage the future direction of research in wireless communication systems.
