Title:Challenges and Opportunities for Simultaneous Multi-functional Networks in the UHF Bands
View PDFAbstract:Multi-functional wireless networks are rapidly evolving and aspire to become a promising attribute of the upcoming 6G networks. Enabling multiple simultaneous networking functions with a single radio fosters the development of more integrated and simpler equipment, overcoming design and technology barriers inherited from radio systems of the past. We are seeing numerous trends exploiting these features in newly designed radios, such as those operating on the mmWave band. In this article, however, we carefully analyze the challenges and opportunities for multi-functional wireless networks in UHF bands, advocating the reuse of existing infrastructures and technologies, and exploring the possibilities of expanding their functionality without requiring architectural changes. We believe that both modern and legacy technologies can be turned into multi-functional systems if the right scientific and technological challenges are properly addressed. This transformation can foster the development of new applications and extend the useful life of these systems, contributing to a more sustainable digitization by delaying equipment obsolescence.
