Effective Wireless Sensing Powered by Micro Environmental Energy

This paper designs a wireless sensor mote platform, which harvests the micro environmental energy as its power source, and uses a fidelity-based energy policy to manage the working and recharging process of the sensor mote. Additionally a data collection and control framework is involved in this paper for practical account. A proof-of-concept prototype powered by the micro corrosion energy from the RC structures is also built to evaluate our designs. The preliminary experimental results show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed wireless sensor platform.
