Internet of Hybrid Energy Harvesting Things

Energy Efficient Multi Path Routing Protocol in Internet of Things

Internet of things (IoT) is a network with a wide range of smart and physical objects and gadgets that can exchange information with each other. IOT introduces a variety of services that human life is dependent on its secure and accessible activities. These networks face numerous problems in terms of energy consumption and reliable communication to send the correct data. Moreover, the character...

Fluorescent Troffer-powered Internet of Things: An Experimental Study of Electric-field Energy Harvesting

Things: An Experimental Study of Electric-field Energy Harvesting O. Cetinkaya and Ozgur B. Akan A totally new energy harvesting architecture that exploits ambient electric-field (E-field) emitting from fluorescent light fixtures is presented. A copper plate, 50x50cm in size, is placed in between the ambient field to extract energy by capacitive coupling. A low voltage prototype is designed, st...

Incentive Mechanism Design for Wireless Energy Harvesting-Based Internet of Things

Radio frequency energy harvesting (RFEH) is a promising technology to charge unattended Internet of Things (IoT) low-power devices remotely. To enable this, in future IoT system, besides the traditional data access points (DAPs) for collecting data, energy access points (EAPs) should be deployed to charge IoT devices to maintain their sustainable operations. Practically, the DAPs and EAPs may b...

Energy Harvesting Aware Hybrid MAC_CR4

In this paper, we propose a hybrid polling Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol with Human Energy Harvesting capabilities, called HEH-BMAC, designed for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). The proposed protocol uses a dynamic schedule algorithm to combine User Identification polling (ID) and Probabilistic Contention (PC) random access, adapting the network operation to the random, time-varying...
