The current generation of mobile internet, 5G, is still expanding in much of the world. Many people adapt and buy new smartphones that support this feature; however, as is often the case in the tech world, while users are enjoying a newly released tool, experts are thinking about the next generation. This is the case 6G. Initiative under development University of Massachusetts was greeted with surprise: professionals are considering using people as “mobile antennas“. The goal is to improve the efficiency of the approach.
Second Ji Xiongprofessor of computer science and computer science at the University of Massachusetts:
“VLC is quite simple and interesting. Instead of using radio signals to transmit information wirelessly, it uses light from LEDs that can turn on and off up to a million times a second.”
VLC is pretty simple. Instead of using radio signals to transmit information wirelessly, it uses an LED backlight that can turn on and off up to a million times per second.
For those not in the know, the “VLC” Xiong mentioned is the system known as Communication in visible light. It is a tool that allows you to achieve more bandwidth than is possible with 5G, which in turn uses radio waves to encode and transmit information faster than 4G.

A little more about the technological approach to be tested with 6G
The method uses an infusion of energy in the form of radio frequency waves. Methods are being testedgraband reuse signals that “leak” through copper coils fixed at strategic points such as telephones and walls. After some thought, a creative idea came up: to use a coil of copper wire on a person’s forearm to effectively capture signal leakage.

Continuation after commercial
Last but not least, Xiong pointed out: “ultimately we want to be able to harvest waste energy from all sorts of sources to power the technologies of the future.“. All this could be very interesting and promising, but is at an experimental stage. Additional tests and studies will be required to confirm the effectiveness of the approach.
