The dynamic and unpredictable nature of energy harvesting sources available for wireless sensor networks, and the time variation in network statistics like packet transmission rates and link qualities, necessitate the use of adaptive duty cycling techniques. Such adaptive control allows sensor nodes to achieve long-run energy neutrality, where energy supply and demand are balanced in a dynamic environment such that the nodes function continuously. In this paper, we develop a new framework enabling an adaptive duty cycling scheme for sensor networks that takes into account the node battery level, ambient energy that can be harvested, and application-level QoS requirements. We …

With wireless energy transfer, a mobile node can operate perpetually without having a wired connection to charge its battery. In this paper, we present a quality of service (QoS) aware data transmission and wireless energy transfer for the mobile node. The node can request for wireless energy transfer or transmit a packet when the node is in a coverage area of an access point. The node supports service differentiation for different type of traffic (i.e., low and high priority data). To meet the QoS requirement of each traffic type, we present the performance modeling and optimization framework. The objective is …
