A Fully Batteryless Multiinput Single Inductor Single Output Energy Harvesting Architecture, Ridvan Umaz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Conventional energy architectures that utilize multiple ambient energy sources are initiated either by an external power supply or through the addition of an extra power source (e.g., battery) to the architecture. However, these interventions compromise the goal of a self-sustainable energy harvesting system. Moreover, conventional architectures are not effective in situations where space is limited (e.g., an artificial heart) or when access to this space is difficult (e.g., human implantable devices), due to their large battery size. Thus, conventional energy combiner circuits that use multiple energy sources are not well suited for supplying power to most applications. This paper presents …
Cooperative Communications With Optimal Harvesting Duration For Nakagamifading Channels, Nadhir Ben Halima, Boujemaa Hatem
Cooperative Communications With Optimal Harvesting Duration For Nakagamifading Channels, Nadhir Ben Halima, Boujemaa Hatem
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we analyze the throughput of cooperative communications with wireless energy harvesting. Relay nodes harvest energy from Radio Frequency (RF) signal transmitted by the source. We derive the packet error probability as well as the throughput for Nakagami fading channels. We also suggest to enhance the throughput by choosing the value of harvesting duration. Our results are valid for both Amplify and Forward (AF) and Decode and Forward (DF) relaying.
