SUMMARY In recent years, microwave wireless power transfer (WPT) has attracted considerable attention due to the increasing demand for various sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Microwave WPT requires technology that can detect and avoid human bodies in the transmission path. Using a phantom is essential for developing such technology in terms of standardization and human body protection from electromagnetic radiation. In this study, a simple and lightweight phantom was developed focusing on its radar cross-section (RCS) to evaluate human body avoidance technology for use in microwave WPT systems. The developed phantom’s RCS is comparable to that of the human body.

The novel optical path routing architecture named flexible waveband routing networks is reviewed in this paper. The nodes adopt a two-stage path routing scheme where wavelength selective switches (WSSs) bundle optical paths and form a small number of path groups and then optical switches without wavelength selectivity route these groups to desired outputs. Substantial hardware scale reduction can be achieved as the scheme enables us to use small scale WSSs, and even more, share a WSS by multiple input cores/fibers through the use of spatially-joint-switching. Furthermore, path groups distributed over multiple bands can be switched by these optical switches and thus the adaptation to multi-band transmission is straightforward. Network-wide numerical simulations and transmission experiments that assume multi-band transmission demonstrate the validity of flexible waveband routing.

Device-to-device (D2D) communication allows user terminals to directly communicate with each other without the need for any base stations (BSs). Since the D2D communication underlaying a cellular system shares frequency channels with BSs, co-channel interference may occur. Successive interference cancellation (SIC), which is also called the serial interference canceler, detects and subtracts user signals from received signals in descending order of received power, can cope with the above interference and has already been applied to fog nodes that manage communications among machine-to-machine (M2M) devices besides direct communications with BSs. When differences among received power levels of user signals are negligible, however, SIC cannot work well and thus causes degradation in bit error rate (BER) performance. To solve such a problem, this paper proposes to apply parallel interference cancellation (PIC), which can simultaneously detect both desired and interfering signals under the maximum likelihood criterion and can maintain good BER performance even when power level differences among users are small. When channel coding is employed, however, SIC can be superior to PIC in terms of BER under some channel conditions. Considering the superiority, this paper also proposes to select the proper cancellation scheme and modulation and coding scheme (MCS) that can maximize the throughput of D2D under a constraint of BER, in which the canceler selection is referred to as adaptive interference cancellation. Computer simulations show that PIC outperforms SIC under almost all channel conditions and thus the adaptive selection from PIC and SIC can achieve a marginal gain over PIC, while PIC can achieve 10% higher average system throughput than that of SIC. As for transmission delay time, it is demonstrated that the adaptive selection and PIC can shorten the delay time more than any other schemes, although the fog node causes the delay time of 1 ms at least.

In this paper, the quality and transferred data based video bitrate control method for web-conferencing services is proposed, aiming to reduce transferred data by suppressing excessive quality. In web-conferencing services, the video bitrate is generally controlled in accordance with the network conditions (e.g., jitter and packet loss rate) to improve users' quality. However, in such a control, the bitrate is excessively high when the network conditions is sufficiently high (e.g., high throughput and low jitter) , which causes an increased transferred data volume. The increased volume of data transferred leads to increased operational costs, such as network costs for service providers. To solve this problem, we developed a method to control the video bitrate of each user to achieve the required quality determined by the service provider. This method is implemented in an actual web-conferencing system and evaluated under various conditions. It was shown that the bitrate could be controlled in accordance with the required quality to reduce the transferred data volume.

A city-level digital twin is a critical enabling technology to construct a smart city that helps improve citizens' living conditions and quality of life. Currently, research and development regarding the digital replica city are pursued worldwide. However, many research projects only focus on creating the 3D city model. A mechanism to involve key players, such as data providers, service providers, and application developers, is essential for constructing the digital replica city and producing various city applications. Based on this motivation, the authors of this paper are pursuing a research project, namely Decentralized Digital Twin EcoSystem (D2EcoSys), to create an ecosystem to advance (and self-grow) the digital replica city regarding time and space directions, city services, and values. This paper introduces an overview of the D2EcoSys project: vision, problem statement, and approach. In addition, the paper discusses the recent research results regarding networking technologies and demonstrates an early testbed built in the Kashiwa-no-ha smart city.
