Fabrication and clinical application of a wireless-power-transmission-type medical device
Wireless power transfer has been recognized by the IEEE as one of the “Seven Technologies That Will Change the World,” and it holds great promise as a novel method of delivering electrical power. Currently, medical devices often rely on battery replacement or charging via power cables connected to electrical outlets. However, incidents of devices remaining uncharged due to forgotten plugs or becoming entangled in cable spaghetti are common. These issues can lead to compromised medical quality and even endanger patients’ lives.
Introducing wireless power-enabled medical devices into home healthcare settings not only facilitates power delivery but also enables information transmission. This advancement can significantly contribute to the early detection of rapid deterioration in vital signs among elderly individuals receiving care at home, ultimately saving precious lives. As part of our research, we have prototyped wireless power-enabled medical devices. Analyzing the signals transmitted and received by these devices at high speed is a key aspect of our study. Additionally, we aim to connect this analysis to early dispatch of emergency medical teams and enhance emergency response and life-saving measures for patients receiving care at home.
Furthermore, considering the pressing issue of population decline faced by many prefectures, including Tokushima Prefecture, which has numerous depopulated areas such as the scenic Kazura Bridge in the Iya Valley, we strive to establish a secure framework for home healthcare even in these regions. By introducing wireless power systems to medical devices, we hope to contribute to curbing population decline in Tokushima Prefecture. Our vision extends beyond medical devices; we aim to foster the creation of next-generation medical instruments and wireless businesses (IoT industry).
In the first part of our study, we provide an overview of wireless power transfer, while the second part focuses on its clinical applications and real-time vital sign transmission for home healthcare patients using the NICT comprehensive testbed.
This research has been conducted with the support and funding from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications through the Strategic Information and Communications R&D Promotion Program (SCOPE, project number 185009003) and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology through the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (project number 18K08857).

How to Use the Digital Twin to Solve Wireless Communication Problems in Industrial Sites
To address challenges such as labor shortages, productivity improvement, and the need for flexible production in today's industrial settings, solutions like automation and personnel reduction through wireless communication are crucial. However, unlike households or offices, industrial environments such as manufacturing floors and warehouses present unique challenges. These include complex indoor and outdoor structures, constantly changing materials and loads, line layouts, and automated vehicles, making it difficult to establish and maintain stable wireless communication environments.
In such scenarios, achieving "uninterrupted wireless" requires the selection and design of appropriate wireless systems tailored to the specific conditions and communication requirements of the site, along with ongoing monitoring of the communication environment. This seminar aims to outline real-world problems encountered during wireless implementation, along with initiatives that aim to rationally solve these issues through measurement and simulation.

Uplink performance test with Semi-synchronous TDD3 in field
Since 2023, Hytec Inter has been offering the "Sub6 Band Compact Local 5G Platform" compliant with O-RAN, advancing PoC (Proof of Concept) in customer environments. One expected advantage for local 5G is the high speed and large capacity on uplink. Semi-synchronous TDD1, which allocates more uplink slots compared to carrier 5G, is already in operation for local 5G. However, for certain use cases, there is an increasing demand for even faster uplink speeds and more capacity. Consequently, in addition to the already institutionalized semi-synchronous TDD1, additional patterns (semi-synchronous TDD2 and TDD3) that increase the proportion of uplink slots for faster speeds are under consideration.
Last year, we applied for and received approval to add semi-synchronous TDD2 and TDD3 to our local 5G experimental station license. In this session, we will show the results of field tests and effects with semi-synchronous TDD3 at Hokkaido Test Development Center located in Numata Town (Uryu District, Hokkaido). Additionally, we will show actual 4K video stream over local 5G, using our products low-latency, rate-controlled 4K video encoder/decoder, and introduce our efforts for local 5G development.

Approaches and Applications of 60GHz High-Speed Wireless LAN
In recent years, to realize high-capacity communications in 5G, the use of millimeter waves has been promoted in addition to the Sub-6 bands, leading to the increasing prevalence of millimeter wave technology. In the field of wireless LAN, on top of the unlicensed frequency bands such as 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz, wireless LANs that utilize the broadly available millimeter wave 60GHz band have been standardized by the IEEE. These are gradually becoming more popular in environments where their directivity and reduced interference are advantages.
Aiming to contribute to a future world where broadband access is even more widespread, Panasonic System Networks R&D has developed a 60GHz high-speed wireless LAN device that allows for the easy establishment of a broadband environment. This device is the industry's smallest and lightest and offers high-speed and low-latency communications comparable to wired LANs wirelessly. Moreover, by adopting a beamforming control antenna, it provides stable connectivity anywhere, indoors or outdoors.
During this session, we will introduce the specifications, features, application areas, and use cases of this device. In addition, based on the future standardization and trends in wireless technologies, we will present insights into how unlicensed bands like the 60GHz wireless LAN are being utilized.
