“…ENO based on WPT has been investigated in some recent work. For example, the feasibility of an energy-neutral Internet of Things (IoT) network was studied in [36] by joint utilization of EH and WPT technologies, and design guidelines for energy-neutral wireless powered networks were presented. In [37], duty cycle operation for a self-powering dual mode SWIPT system in which a sensor node adaptively controls single-tone or multi-tone communication mode was introduced and an adaptive mode switching problem was solved to maximize the achievable rate under ENO to realize a battery-free IoT network.…”

For energy-neutral operation (ENO) of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), we apply a wireless powered communication network (WPCN) to a WSN with a hierarchical structure. In this hierarchical wireless powered sensor network (WPSN), sensor nodes with high harvesting energies and good link budgets have energy remaining after sending their data to the cluster head (CH), whereas the CH suffers from energy scarcity. Thus, we apply the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technique to the considered WPSN so that the sensor nodes can transfer their remaining energy to the CH while transmitting data in a cooperative manner. To maximize the achievable rate of sensing data while guaranteeing ENO, we propose a novel ENO framework, which provides a frame structure for SWIPT operation, rate improvement subject to ENO, SWIPT ratio optimization, as well as clustering and CH selection algorithm. The results of extensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed ENO based on SWIPT significantly improves the achievable rate and reduces the energy dissipated in the network while guaranteeing ENO, in comparison with the conventional schemes without SWIPT.

“…IoT devices are traditionally powered from batteries, which eventually deplete and have to be replaced. However, with the increasing scale of IoT networks, such maintenance will become impractical, and hence research efforts are focused on replacing batteries with energy harvesting (EH) sources, which convert ambient energy into electricity [2].…”

This paper analyzes the successful communication probability between two intermittently-powered nodes in a homogeneous energy harvesting (EH) mesh network. Powering devices using EH can enable networks to operate indefinitely; however, with limited energy storage and in scarce EH conditions, nodes may only be intermittently-powered. This reduces the effectiveness of conventional networking techniques, where listening modes of radios deplete the storage too quickly, rendering nodes useless. This is particularly problematic in the deployment of mesh networks, where there is no provision of a high-power coordinator. To counter this, wake-up receivers (WuRxs) provide extended listening time without the need for a high power conventional radio, but with a cost to sensitivity. Therefore, listening time must be balanced with transmission and wake-to-receive cost, where if all the harvested energy is spent listening none remains to transmit, and vice versa. From stochastic analysis and simulation of the energy usage in mesh nodes, we obtain the optimum transmission load to maximize goodput, which is the rate of successful communications. We include the cost of each wake-up based on the network size in our goodput analysis. Simulations for a fixed number of homogeneous nodes verify this. Furthermore, we model and evaluate the energy consumption trade-off between transmit power and WuRx sensitivity to enable the maximum goodput.

“…The single-hops are performed by Hybrid energy and information Access Points (HAPs) deployed throughout the network, while the double-hops are fulfilled by flying mobile agents, i.e., UAVs. The HAPs harvest energy from multiple resources to remotely energize multiple components with multiple antennae, where the energy shared in the network is gathered solely by domain-specific EH mechanisms [8]. They also sustain half-and full-duplex communications to simultaneously collect multiple sensor data and ensure coordination between network components, besides offloading the measurements to the cloud via Internet Protocols (IPs).…”

Widespread and pervasive IoT adoption is threatened by finite-capacity batteries of wireless devices. To mitigate this issue, energy harvesting (EH) and wireless power transfer (WPT), in addition to energy-efficient communication techniques, have been widely explored. Although these efforts achieved longevity to some extent, ever-evolving IoT services seek fully autonomous things without energy constraints. To meet this demand and relieve the ongoing networking challenges, we propose a new concept called the Internet of MIMO Things (IoMIMO). The IoMIMO envisions a self-sufficient architecture that adopts only single-and double-hop energy and data transitions to enable efficient energy sharing and reduced data traffic in networks. In particular, single-hops are performed by hybrid access points (HAPs), while relaying via double-hops are actuated by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The HAPs will handle multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) of energy and data, and coordinate their transitions between the network components in a concurrent and automated manner. Benefiting from the recent advances in multi-source EH, WPT, and UAVs, the IoMIMO can fulfill Smart City services without being limited by energy and networking challenges. Device types specialized for the IoMIMO, and their operation modes are evaluated in a simple network scenario to clearly explain the principles and the potential benefits of the envisioned concept. Future research directions are also identified to ease the realization of such a next-generation networking architecture.
