基于磁共振的中距离无线能量中继传输(英文)

基于磁场共振的无线输能技术是一种被广泛关注的能量传输技术,其中能量可以通过磁场共振的方式在非辐射的近场中传输。文章提出了一种带有中继回路的四线圈磁场共振系统。根据电路分析和仿真,设计并优化了相关参数使该系统工作在磁场共振状态。实验表明,在有无中继回路时,电源效率分别为33.4%和22.1%。与没有中继回路相比,中继回路可以将电源效率提高11.3%;并将传输距离提高约2倍的线圈直径。实验结果表明,在磁场共振系统中,中继回路可以提高电源的效率并增加能量的传输距离。

无线传感器网络最小能量簇群构造策略

尽可能延长无线传感器网络(WSNs)的生命周期是设计和部署网络所面临的最大挑战之一。由于节点配备的能量有限,采用分簇方式组织节点可以极大地降低节点与Sink节点通信的能耗。簇群成员节点和簇头的通信方式与簇群的拓扑结构决定整个簇群的能量消耗速度。文中分析了簇群节点采用Multi-hop通信方式时,节点通过中继节点与簇头通信时能量消耗的模型,然后在选择链路的最优跳数的基础上,提出建立最小能量中继链路的方法,实现通信能耗的最小化。对WSNs的设计和实施具有一定的指导意义。

Delay and Energy Efficient Design of an On-Chip Bus with Repeaters Using a New Spatial and Temporal Encoding Technique

On-chip global buses in deep sub-micron designs consume significant amounts of energy and have large propagation delays. Thus, minimizing energy dissipation and propagation delay is an important design objective. In this paper, we propose a new spatial and temporal encoding approach for generic on-chip global buses with repeaters that enables higher performance while reducing peak energy and average energy. The proposed encoding approach exploits the benefits of a temporal encoding circuit and spatial bus-invert coding techniques to simultaneously eliminate opposite transitions on adjacent wires and reduce the number of self-transitions and coupling-transitions. In the design process of applying encoding techniques for reduced bus delay and energy, we present a repeater insertion design methodology to determine the repeater size and inter-repeater bus length, which minimizes the total bus energy dissipation while satisfying target delay and slew-rate constraints. This methodology is employed to obtain optimal energy versus delay trade-offs under slew-rate constraints for various encoding techniques.

Energy Efficiency Analysis of Cellular Networks with Cooperative Relays via Stochastic Geometry

Cooperative relaying is a promising technology that can improve the spectral and energy efficiency of cellular networks. However, the deployed relays consume a lot of energy and system resources. To improve the energy efficiency of the relay-assisted cellular networks, this paper considers the use of energy harvesting(EH) on relay nodes. A random sleeping strategy is also introduced in macro base stations(MBS) as a possible method to reduce energy consumption. In this paper, an analytical model is proposed to investigate the energy efficiency of cellular networks with EH relays and sleep mode strategy. Numerical results confirm a significant energy efficiency gain of the proposed networks comparing to the cellular networks with non-EH relays and MBSs without sleep mode strategy. The effects of the density and transmit power of MBSs on energy efficiency are also given through simulations.

Bidirectional secondary transmissions with energy harvesting in cognitive wireless sensor networks

To the existing spectrum sharing schemes in wireless-powered cognitive wireless sensor networks,the protocols are limited to either separate the primary and the secondary transmission or allow the secondary user to transmit signals in a time slot when it forwards the primary signal.In order to address this limitation,a novel cooperative spectrum sharing scheme is proposed,where the secondary transmission is multiplexed with both the primary transmission and the relay transmission.Specifically,the process of transmission is on a three-phase time-switching relaying basis.In the first phase,a cognitive sensor node SU1 scavenges energy from the primary transmission.In the second phase,another sensor node SU2 and primary transmitter simultaneously transmit signals to the SU1.In the third phase,the node SU1 can assist the primary transmission to acquire the opportunity of spectrum sharing.Joint decoding and interference cancellation technique is adopted at the receivers to retrieve the desired signals.We further derive the closed-form expressions for the outage probabilities of both the primary and secondary systems.Moreover,we address optimization of energy harvesting duration and power allocation coefficient strategy under performance criteria.An effective algorithm is then presented to solve the optimization problem.Simulation results demonstrate that with the optimized solutions,the sensor nodes with the proposed cooperative spectrum sharing scheme can utilize the spectrum in a more efficient manner without deteriorating the performance of the primary transmission,as compared with the existing one-directional scheme in the literature.

Energy Efficiency Optimization in Relay-Assisted Networks with Energy Harvesting Relay Constraints

In this paper we consider data transmission in a decode-and-forward(DF)relay-assisted network in which the relay is energy harvesting(EH) powered while the base station(BS) is power-grid powered.Our purpose is to maximize the BS's energy efficiency(EE) while making full use of the relay's renewable energy and satisfying the specific average throughput requirements.In contrast to existing literature on energy harvesting system which only considers the radio transmission power,we take the static circuit power into account as well.We formulate the EE optimization problem and prove that the EE of the BS and relay are both quasiconvex in the instantaneous transmission rate.Then we divide the complex optimization problem into two point-to-point link level optimization parts and propose an energyefficient resource allocation(EERA) scheme in which power control and sleep mode management are jointly used.The simulation results demonstrate that EERA may achieve good energy saving effects.We also compare the EE of an energy harvesting relay system with a power-grid powered one and provide more insight into the EE problem of energy harvesting relay system.
