Special Issue on

Wireless Sensor Networks with Environmental Energy Harvesting

Overview

Traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are normally battery powered with limited energy supply. Years of effort had been given by researchers and engineers to maximize the lifetime of WSNs in almost all the aspects, e.g., routing, topology control, deployment, data aggregation, clustering, and sleep scheduling. However, recently advanced technical developments have allowed sensor nodes to harvest environmental energy from natural sources, e.g., wind, water flow, ocean currents, and solar, which enable WSNs to have the rechargeable energy supply. With multiple energy sources, the overall efficiency, reliability and sustainability are enhanced in any WSN application system.

This emerging technical development gives sensor nodes a totally different energy model compared to traditional battery powered sensor nodes, which fundamentally changed the assumption for many existing lifetime optimization schemes. We should look back almost all traditional challenging issues in WSNs to cope with this new changing. New research issues, e.g., power management with multiple energy sources, should also be considered.

This special issue aims at seeking new approaches, methods, and schemes for solving both traditional and new challenging issues in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other journal. The topics suggested can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, designs, implementations, running experiments or applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scopes:

l Routing in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting

l Sleep scheduling in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting

l Topology control in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting

l Data aggregation in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting

l Clustering in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting

l Multimedia streaming in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting

l Security in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting

l Cross-layer optimization in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting

l Power management in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting

l Capacity modeling, performance analysis, and theoretical analysis

l Mobility management in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting

l Transmission in WSNs with environmental energy harvesting
