Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) constitute a key technology for many applications that require virtual-physical interactions, such as military surveillance, environmental monitoring, home automation and health monitoring. For many long-term applications, a severe bottleneck is the limited amount of energy provided by individual batteries commonly used to power WSN. Energy harvesting forms a promising technology to tackle this problem. Moreover, the most energy consuming task in a wireless node is usually communication. Recent improvements in wake-up receivers (WURx) hardware make them a privileged direction to reduce the consumption of radio on wireless nodes. Using both technologies can enable WSN to achieve long term sustainability while maintaining quality of service requirements fulfilled. However, this requires careful design of both power managers (PMs) and MAC protocols to efficiently use these two emerging technologies together. The aim of our work is to design efficient PMs and MAC protocols for multihop energy harvesting wireless sensor networks (EH-WSN) in which each node is equipped with a WURx. In this paper, we present the energetic model and two PMs on which we are currently working on.
