Abstract:
An energy harvesting sensor node includes an energy harvesting sensor, an energy storage device, and a transceiver. The energy harvesting sensor is configured to extract energy from an external source at a rate proportional to a value of a first parameter of the external source. The energy storage device is configured to store the extracted energy from the energy harvesting sensor at the rate proportional to the value of the first parameter. The transceiver is configured to transmit a plurality of data transmission frames at a frequency proportional to the value of the first parameter.
