Service-Based Wireless Energy Crowdsourcing

Quality of Experience Optimization in IoT Energy Services

“…Algorithm 1 Lines [1][2] aggregate the wearables' energy amounts by adding them up. Lines [3][4] define the spatio-temporal features of the service from the preferences of the owner. Line 5 defines the energy service (ES) using Definitions 1 and 2.…”

“…For example, an IoT device owner may offer their WiFi as a hotspot (i.e., service provider) to other nearby IoT devices (i.e., service consumers). A multitude of novel IoT services may be used to enable intelligent systems in several domains, including smart cities, smart homes, and healthcare [4]. Examples of IoT services are WiFi hotspots, environmental sensing, and energy services [5].…”

“…Crowdsourcing is an efficient way to leverage IoT energy services to create a self-sustained environment [5] [4]. IoT users may exchange or crowdshare their spare energy to charge nearby IoT devices.…”

Activity-based Profiling for Energy Harvesting Estimation

“…Energy services refers to the wireless transfer of energy from an IoT device (e.g. energy provider) to a nearby device (e.g., energy consumer) [1] [2] Energy providers, such as smart shoes, may harvest energy from natural resources (e.g., physical activity) [3] [4] For example, PowerWalk kinetic energy harvester produces 10-12 watts of on-the-move power [1]. The harvested energy may be used to charge nearby IoT devices wirelessly using new technologies known as "Over-the-Air wireless charging" [5][6] [7].…”

“…Enabling a sustainable energy services IoT ecosystem will offer ubiquitous access to energy [2]. In this environment, IoT devices can be charged automatically without human intervention.…”
