Optimal energy management over solar based energy harvesting sensor network

Abstract

In this paper, we build a framework for maximizing the utilization of solar-based harvesting energy in sensor networks. For this goal, we analyze the required power at each relay node and give the queueing framework for the power management. In the simulation, our proposed algorithm shows a superior performance than conventional ones in terms of the PRR (Packet Reception Rate) for a day according to the recharging efficiency.
