Towards Wider 5G Network Coverage: Novel Wirelessly Powered Relay Transceiver

Researchers have designed a novel wirelessly powered relay transceiver that improves 5G network coverage even in areas with link blockage.

A novel 256-element wirelessly powered transceiver array for non-line-of-sight 5G communication, featuring efficient wireless power transmission and high-power conversion efficiency, has been designed by scientists at Tokyo Tech. The innovative design can enhance the 5G network coverage even to places with link blockage, improving flexibility and coverage area, and potentially making high-speed, low-latency communication more accessible.
