Modeling and implementation of energy neutral sensing systems

Abstract

We present the modeling, implementation, and evaluation of a single wireless sensor network that executes energy-harvesting algorithms and sensing applications. The network energy-management is modeled as a feedback control system. An asynchronous execution of the energy-management and the application processes is modeled as a finite state machine. To evaluate our approach, we designed energy neutral sensing systems for two applications and implemented them with Fennec Fox.
