Solar Energy Harvesting for Wireless Sensor Networks

2009 First International Conference on Computational Intelligence, Communication Systems and Networks, 2009
The commercially available sensor nodes are battery-driven devices. A number of nodes together constitute a network. As days proceed, the batteries used in the nodes lose their charge and subsequently get isolated from the network. Many energy harvesting schemes have been proposed to alleviate this problem.

Wireless energy harvesting in interference alignment networks

IEEE Communications Magazine, 2015
Wireless energy harvesting (WEH) is becoming one of the key techniques in energy harvesting in wireless networks. On the other hand, interference alignment (IA) is a promising solution for interference management in wireless networks. Although plenty of effort has been conducted on WEH and IA, these two important areas have been addressed separately in

Energy Harvesting for Autonomous Wireless Sensor Networks

IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine, 2010
Wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) are employed today in many different application areas, ranging from health and lifestyle to automotive, smart building, predictive maintenance (e.g., of machines and infrastructure), and active RFID tags. Currently these devices have limited lifetimes, however, since they require significant operating power.
