Novel mmWave/5G RFID Architectures for Next Generation of IoT Devices and VR Applications

As the recent advances in mmWave/5G technologies become increasingly available, the potential for wireless Internet of Things (IoT) devices for precise localization, and high data-rate communication systems become highly feasible for AR/VR applications. At the same time, it is essential that the new generation of mmWave systems for IoT applications are low-cost, energy-efficient, easily-scalable, reliable and compact. This work presents some of the recent efforts in mmWave/5G RFID systems that combine novel designs for overcoming the challenges in long-range interrogation, wide-angular coverage, and power consumption. This work describes the state of the evolving field of mmIDs through paradigm examples in literature that enhance mmID localization and orientation, making mmID-based AR/VR applications more feasible.
