For the last two decades radio frequency (RF) has been at the core of
the revolution enabling wireless communication for the Internet of
Things (IoT). But RF communication has been a victim of its own
success, the ever increasing number of devices joining the IoT are
saturating the RF bandwidth. We need alternative ways to exploit RF
technology and to use other means to transmit data wirelessly. The aim
of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners
from different communities to discuss and explore novel wireless
communication technologies for the IoT.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
+ backscatter communication
+ visible light communication
+ magnetic induction communication
+ infrared communication
+ laser communication
+ camera-based communication
+ thermal-based communication
+ acoustic communication
+ applications for novel wireless communication methods
+ new platforms
+ theoretical models
+ new communication methods with RF signals
+ new network stacks (MAC, Routing) for novel communication technologies
