Modeling and performance analysis of energy harvesting wireless communication systems with reliable energy backup

Abstract

Summary Energy harvesting wireless communication system (EH‐WCS) has the capability of harvesting energy for system operations from the surrounding renewable energy sources. However, the randomness and instability of the harvested energy will result in the depletion of the energy consumption. To provide reliable communication services with the quality of service (QoS) guarantee, it is necessary for the EH‐WCS to use a reliable energy backup (REB) for supplying energy to the system during the failure of its primary energy source. In this paper, a novel stochastic model, i.e., the extended Markov fluid flow model, is proposed to describe the EH‐WCS with REB. The Kolmogorov forward equations of the system model are derived. By solving the corresponding equations, we obtain the stationary distributions of the key performance metrics for the EH‐WCS with REB, including the average energy consumption rate of the EH‐WCS, the residual energy distribution, the average energy supply rate by REB, the packet queue length in data buffer, the data queue delay, and the packet blocking probability. A numerical example is provided to investigate the theoretical results, and the effects of the system parameters on the performance are further studied numerically. Both the theoretical insights and the numerical analyses are believed to be important for the design of EH‐WCSs.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Low-Cost Piezoelectric Micro-Energy Harvesting Systems from Ambient Energy Sources: Current Trends, Issues and Suggestions

“…There are three steps in the complete paper-screening procedure. To begin, all Scopus articles about PMEH are gathered as the primary input, which is linked with the title, abstract, and keywords of any phrases that are based on PMEH (such as microelectronic devices, abundant energy resources, and clean energy) [29,30]. The publication took place between 2010 and 2021.…”
