In recent years, wireless charging (a.k.a. wireless energy transferring) [3] has been recognized as a promising alternative to address the energy constraint challenge in wireless sensor networks. Comparing to the conventional energy conservation or harvesting approaches, wireless charging can replenish energy in a more controllable manner and does not require accurate location of or physical alignment to sensor nodes. In spite of these advantages, there has been little research on how much potential performance improvement may be achieved by applying the wireless charging approach to sensor networks and how to fully leverage its potential. In this paper, as one of the first efforts to study these issues, we (1) formulate the problem of maximizing the sensor network lifetime via codetermining routing and charging (ML-JRC), (2) prove the NP-hardness nature of the problem and derive an upper bound of the maximum sensor network lifetime that is achievable with ML-JRC, and (3) present a set of heuristics to determine the wireless charging strategies under various routing schemes, and demonstrate their effectiveness via in-depth simulation. |
