Description:

The world’s population was an estimated 7.6 billion in December 2017. In the same year, there were 8.4 billion connected things and thus, the amount of Internet of Things (IoT) devices outnumbered the world’s population. According to the prediction of a Gartner research, the IoT will connect up to 50 to 100 billion devices by 2020. As such, it can be realized that Moore’s law of doubling the circuit density every 10 months or semiconductor miniaturization cannot continue to be a solution by 2020 due to excessive heat dissipation in the traditional irreversible logic operation. On the other hand, reversible logic can reduce heat dissipation significantly and thus produce a very high energy efficient computation paradigm by simply removing this information or bit losses. Wireless communication uses energy or power for analog transmissions, while computation uses power for signal processing and other duties related to transmission and reception. If the link distance is less than 10 meters in a small cell wireless networking system, the computing power is higher than the analog transmissions power. It is expected that in the near future, most wireless communication systems will have low link distances. Therefore, it is essential to search for a new wireless access technology, which will not only provide an incredibly high number of connected devices but will also support an energy-efficient computation paradigm. In future smart cities, a very small volume of space will contain millions of wirelessly connected sensors and actuators using IoT. Energy or power efficiency is one of the most important factors for wireless communications among a massive number of IoT things. Most of the researches in reversible computing have tried to find the lossless VLSI circuit design. Several wireless networking advantages of reversibility logic inclusion in the mobile terminal using artificial intelligence will also be presented in this talk.
