First IEEE International Workshop on Energy Harvesting for Communications In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2012, Ottawa, Canada, June 2012 CALL FOR PAPERS

The first IEEE International Workshop on Energy Harvesting for Communications (IWEHC) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE ICC 2012 in Ottawa, Canada. All papers will be peer reviewed by TPC members and other experts in the field. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings and on the IEEE Xplore website.

Scope: Energy Harvesting Communications (EHC) offers the tantalizing possibility of perpetual operation, as the communication nodes only use energy harvested from their environment for processing and communication. However, the energy harvesting process may be sporadic, due to which nodes may temporarily run out of energy. Algorithms and protocols need to be designed that are robust to the sporadic and possibly limited energy resources available for sensing and communication. This workshop aims to bring together academic experts and industrial researchers interested in the design and development of EHC. It will create a forum where the researchers working on this topic can share their results and collectively identify design principles for optimizing the performance of EHC.

Topics include (but are not limited to): * Physical layer protocols, link-layer algorithm design and analysis * Modeling energy harvesting processes and their role in optimizing the communication performance * Energy harvesting sensor design for body area networks * Fundamental information theoretic limits of EHC * Sensing accuracy – throughput (rate-distortion) trade-off analysis * Harvesting-Aware MAC and routing protocols * Cooperative communications and relaying using EHC * Quality of Service in EHC systems * Lifetime enhancement of conventional networks using EHC * Implementations, Testbeds and Experimental results * Novel applications of EHC
