Morikawa-Narusue Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab builds the foundation for new networks through wireless communication, wireless power transfer, and data analysis.
AboutAbout the lab
A new generation of network information infrastructure.
Morikawa-Narusue Lab studies ubiquitous networks, sensor networks, and the mobile Internet.
As the development of the Internet and mobile phones greatly changes information and communications, the lab aims to build a new generation of network information infrastructure.
While envisioning the "killer applications" of the next generation, the lab develops foundational technologies and also builds prototypes to test ideas in practice.
Key terms
- Sensor network
- A system that connects many sensors wirelessly to collect data, such as temperature and movement, from distant locations
- Wireless power transfer
- Technology that sends electric power to distant devices using radio waves or magnetic fields, without connecting wires
- Cyber-physical system
- A system that collects and analyzes real-world data with computers and uses the results to benefit the real world
ResearchResearch themes
Following the development of the Internet and mobile phones, the lab aims to establish a new generation of network information infrastructure. Research is organized into groups for wireless communication, wireless power transfer, and data analysis, and alongside developing foundational technologies, the lab also builds prototypes.
*Illustrative imageWireless Communication for Beyond 5G/6G
The lab studies wireless communication technologies for Beyond 5G/6G. By thoroughly analyzing the part that sends signals over radio waves (the physical layer) and designing the mechanisms built on top of it, the lab develops technologies that make design and implementation easier.
*Illustrative imageWireless Power Transfer Systems
Approaching the problem from both information engineering and electrical engineering, the lab builds wireless power transfer systems that are not bound by conventional methods, including technology that automatically designs the transmitting and receiving coils.
*Illustrative imageData Analysis in Real-World Settings
To advance cyber-physical systems, the lab collaborates with a variety of partners on projects such as anomaly detection for wind turbines, support for sales decision-making, prediction of flooding caused by overflowing rainwater, and analysis of the characteristics of oil and gas fields.
