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 Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not \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
