Title
MPF: Prolonging Network Lifetime of Wireless Rechargeable Sensor Networks by Mixing Partial Charge and Full Charge
Abstract
Recently, wireless power transfer is emerging as an enabling technology of wireless rechargeable sensor networks. Conventional methods that charge each sensor until its battery is full take unproportionally long time to finish, due to the limitation of charging efficiency and power transfer technologies. In this paper, we propose a mixed partial and full charge (MPF) scheme, including three specialized modules, i.e., evaluation module, adjustment module, and selection module. MPF allows nodes to be replenished "partially" by a mobile charging vehicle (MCV). When executing adjustment module, a concept of power and path adjustment window is proposed for determining a proper power allocation scheme as well as charging path. Then a scheduling strategy termed return mechanism is designed to further utilize the energy of the MCV and improve effective energy utilization. Finally, we build a high-accuracy charging test-bed and evaluate the applicability as well as performance of the proposed scheme. For large-scale networks, we also perform simulations to demonstrate the effectiveness of MPF in promoting survival rate and reducing traveling distance of the MCV.
