EH-IRSP: Energy Harvesting Based Intelligent Relay Selection Protocol

Battery-Aware Relay Selection for Energy Harvesting Cooperative Networks

The use of energy harvesting (EH) nodes as cooperative relays is an emerging solution for enabling green wireless systems. In this paper, we consider multiple EH relay nodes harvesting energy from the radio frequency (RF) signal received from the source and use that harvested energy to forward the source information to the destination. Unlike conventional relays with fixed power supplies, EH re...

Power allocation, relay selection and energy cooperation strategies in energy harvesting cooperative wireless networks

In this paper, optimal power allocation and relay selection strategies in energy harvesting cooperative wireless networks are studied. In particular, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)-maximizing based power allocation and relay selection without and with energy cooperation—via wireless energy transfer—are considered. Moreover, total relay power minimization subject to target end-to-end SNR is investi...

Energy-balanced cooperative transmission based on relay selection and power control in energy harvesting wireless sensor network

Energy harvesting can be leveraged by Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to address its energy-scarcity problem, giving rise to Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Network (EHWSN). Residual energy balancing of sensors is the key issue to avoid sensors’ failure and promise the network function of EHWSN. In this paper, by exploiting the sensors around the source and sink as relays, we propose a distribu...

On the Performance Evaluation of Energy-Aware Sleep Scheduling (EASS) in Energy Harvesting WSN (EH-WSN)

Tree-based structures offer assured optimal paths from the data source to the sink. Shortest routes are disregarded since these do not consider the remaining energy level of the nodes. This shortens the lifetime of the whole network. Most tree-based routing protocols, although aware of the nodes’ energy, do not consider an energy aware sleep scheduling scheme. We propose an energy-aware sleep s...
