This project examines wireless communication networks whose nodes have batteries that recharge by harvesting energy from the environment. Energy harvesting can yield a network that lasts as long as the network's hardware and intended purpose remain viable; this may be arbitrarily longer than the lifetime of any suitable single-charge battery. While average-power minimization is adequate to describe the lifetime of a device with a single-charge battery, a complete characterization of a network of rechargeable devices will depend on how the batteries are replenished. Given the broad variety of energy recharging systems, including solar cells, vibration absorption devices, wind and water mills, and thermoelectric generators, battery recharging is modeled as an environmental stochastic process. This project applies analytical models for battery recharging to evaluate fundamental multiple access, broadcast and relay network models composed of rechargeable nodes. The project objective is an enhanced understanding of the analytic fundamentals of rechargeable networks in order to contribute to the development and ultimate deployment of ecologically-friendly rechargeable networks.

该项目研究了无线通信网络，其节点具有通过从环境中收集能量来充电的电池。能源收集可以产生一个持续的网络，只要网络的硬件和预期目的仍然可行。这可能比任何合适的单充电电池的寿命任意更长。虽然平均功率最小化足以描述具有单电荷电池设备的寿命，但可充电设备网络的完整表征将取决于如何补充电池。考虑到包括太阳能电池，振动吸收装置，风能和水厂以及热电发生器的各种能源充电系统，电池充电被建模为环境随机过程。该项目将分析模型用于电池充电，以评估由可充电节点组成的基本多访问，广播和继电器网络模型。该项目目标是对可充电网络的分析基础的增强理解，以便为生态友好友好的可充电网络的开发和最终部署做出贡献。
