A queuing analytical model is presented to investigate the performances of different sleep
and wakeup strategies in a solar-powered wireless sensor/mesh network where a solar cell …

Energy harvesting technologies are required for autonomous sensor networks for which
using a power source from a fixed utility or manual battery recharging is infeasible. An …

We consider a wireless sensor network whose nodes may enter the so-called sleep mode,
corresponding to low power consumption and reduced operational capabilities. We develop …

One of the most important constraints in traditional wireless sensor networks is the limited
amount of energy available at each sensor node. The energy consumption is mainly …

A critical issue in wireless sensor networks is represented by the limited availability of
energy within network nodes; therefore making good use of energy is a must. A widely …

Solar power can extend the lifetime of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), but it is a very
variable energy source. In many applications for WSNs, however, it is often preferred to …

Energy harvesting wireless sensor networks (EH-WSNs) are gaining importance in smart
homes, environmental monitoring, health care and transportation systems, since they enable …

We study sleep/wake scheduling for low duty cycle sensor networks. Our work is different
from prior work in that we explicitly consider the effect of synchronization error in the design …

Sleep/wake-up scheduling is one of the fundamental problems in wireless sensor networks,
since the energy of sensor nodes is limited and they are usually unrechargeable. The …

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is envisioned as a cluster of tiny power-constrained
devices with functions of sensing and communications. Sensors closer to a sink node have a …
