Modeling and Simulation of Energy-Aware Adaptive Policies for Automatic Weather Stations
Pages 44 - 47
Abstract
In this paper we present a methodology to model and analyse from the energetic point of view energy-aware adaptive applications for sensing and communication running on top of an Automatic Weather Station (AWS). Applications are modeled as a suite of independent policies, one for each sensing or transmission device. A policy is a set of rules that describe the behaviour of applications. Policies are modeled independently of the actual application implementation, so that designers could evaluate the energetic feasibility of the application early in the design process of the AWS. Policies dynamically modify the sampling frequency of sensors and the transmission starting time according to the amount of energy that could be harvested from the environment and to the amount of energy stored in the battery. In order to assess the effectiveness of the modeled policies we simulated them through an energy-aware simulator for AWS systems.

Uncertainty-aware Energy Harvest Prediction and Management for IoT Devices
Internet of things (IoT) devices are popular in several high-impact applications such as mobile healthcare and digital agriculture. However, IoT devices have limited operating lifetime due to their small form factor. Harvesting energy from ambient sources ...
Energy harvesting aware topology control with power adaptation in wireless sensor networks
In the recent years, energy harvesting technology has been integrated into wireless sensor networks for resolving the energy "bottleneck" problems caused by the limited-capacity batteries equipped in traditional sensor nodes. However, due to the limited ...
Joint Transmission and Energy Transfer Policies for Energy Harvesting Devices With Finite Batteries
One of the main concerns in traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is energy efficiency. In this work, we analyze two techniques that can extend network lifetime. The first is ambient energy harvesting (EH), i.e., the capability of the devices to ...
