通用收发器：万物互联的机遇和未来方向（IoE）
Universal Transceivers: Opportunities and Future Directions for the Internet of Everything (IoE)
摘要：
万物互联（IoE）是最近引入的信息和通信技术（ICT）框架，有望将人类连接扩展到整个宇宙，其本身可以被视为自然的万物互联，即我们所感知的一切的互连网络。通过跨不同规模和环境的异构ICT技术的混合以及与自然万物互联的无缝接口，万物互联可以实现无数的机会，这带来了几个基本挑战，例如互操作性、无处不在的连接性、能源效率和小型化。应对这些挑战的关键是推进我们的通信技术，以匹配自然万物互联的多规模、多模式和动态特征。为此，我们引入了一种新的通信设备概念，即通用IoE收发器，其包括收发器架构，其特征在于通信中的多模态（具有分子，RF/THz，光学和声学等模态）和能量收集（具有机械，太阳能，生物化学等模态），模块化，可调谐性和可扩展性。围绕这些基本特征，我们概述了微/纳米级通用收发器架构为实现万物互联应用所带来的机遇。我们还讨论了在实现这种收发器的最紧迫的挑战，并简要回顾了开放的研究方向。我们的讨论特别关注与万物互联物理层相关的机遇和挑战，这可以实现更高级别技术的高效设计。我们相信，这种通用收发器可以为更深层次的无缝连接和与宇宙的通信铺平道路，并开创即将到来的万物互联格局的建设。
英文摘要：
The Internet of Everything (IoE) is a recently introduced information and communication technology (ICT) framework promising for extending the human connectivity to the entire universe, which itself can be regarded as a natural IoE, an interconnected network of everything we perceive. The countless number of opportunities that can be enabled by IoE through a blend of heterogeneous ICT technologies across different scales and environments and a seamless interface with the natural IoE impose several fundamental challenges, such as interoperability, ubiquitous connectivity, energy efficiency, and miniaturization. The key to address these challenges is to advance our communication technology to match the multi-scale, multi-modal, and dynamic features of the natural IoE. To this end, we introduce a new communication device concept, namely the universal IoE transceiver, that encompasses transceiver architectures that are characterized by multi-modality in communication (with modalities such as molecular, RF/THz, optical and acoustic) and in energy harvesting (with modalities such as mechanical, solar, biochemical), modularity, tunability, and scalability. Focusing on these fundamental traits, we provide an overview of the opportunities that can be opened up by micro/nanoscale universal transceiver architectures towards realizing the IoE applications. We also discuss the most pressing challenges in implementing such transceivers and briefly review the open research directions. Our discussion is particularly focused on the opportunities and challenges pertaining to the IoE physical layer, which can enable the efficient and effective design of higher-level techniques. We believe that such universal transceivers can pave the way for seamless connection and communication with the universe at a deeper level and pioneer the construction of the forthcoming IoE landscape.
