A Charge Algorithm Proposal for Wirelessly Charged Networks

This paper lays the foundations for the concept of Wirelessly Charged Networks (WCNs). A WCN can be briefly defined as a network of electronic devices that can store and wirelessly exchange electrical energy between one another. After covering the original paradigms of electrical energy generation, transmission and use, WCN emerges as a plausible solution to small scale wireless energy transmission networks. To this end, several transmission algorithms are proposed for different topologies. An abstract model was created in order to represent these networks, without restricting its technological implementation. The main focus of this work is to find an algorithm that would minimize the time to charge network nodes, depending on the topology.
