Energy Harvesting for Hybrid Powering of Autonomous Wireless Sensors

Energy harvesting sources and powering schemes are not capable to meet the power demands of end electronic consumers. several methods and alternatives are implemented. Among these alternatives, communication protocols of collected data can involve a reduced energy consumption since data acquired by the sensor node can travel a minimum distance with minimum energy consumption before being finally collected by the end server or radio-frequency antenna. The transmission protocols of collected data can thereby involve several routes that minimize overall consumption.
