A dynamic, distributed, and configurable back-end server combined with an IoT end-device system that is adaptive to dynamic use and applications. The back-end system comprises APIs and applications for the management and delivery of a set of encrypted function and data services. The services packaged in containers are deployed via the Internet in combination with the IPFS P2P distribution framework to a fault tolerant, high bandwidth, low latency, scalable network of distributed nodes. The nodes consist of various interoperable IoT sensors, actuators, and devices such as wearables, smart phones, or smart appliances. The configurable services are delivered on demand and ubiquitously based on the associated need, location, context, and environment of nomadic mobile users via a multi-layer computing and communication architecture. The dynamic nature of the system enables applications for replacement of the standard system GUI interactions to establish a gadget free user-friendly smart space, domain, or smart environment.

Wearable communication technology has resulted in a growing demand for compact and miniature antennas. Some wireless smart communication devices (e.g., wearables, smartwatches, etc.) may be worn on the wrist or near a human body. The term smart arises because some of these devices (i.e., smartwatch) can be connected to the Internet. They can synchronize information with smart phones or tablet PCs. Conventional smartwatches operate generally in the frequency bands of Bluetooth (BT), WIFI, and Global Positioning System(GPS). To become independent of smart phones, the next generation of smartwatches or advanced wearable wireless devices, require operations over additional frequency bands such as Global System for Mobile Communication(GSM), Third Generation (3G), Fourth Generation (4G), and the future Fifth Generation (5G). This sets new challenges for small antenna designs and the demand of the increased in bandwidth (BW) requirements. Show less
