    Design and implementation of a wireless sensor communication system with low power consumption for energy harvesting technology
    (2012-02-02T00:00:00Z) Marsic, Vlad; Zhu, Meiling; Williams, Stewart W.
    This paper presents the design and implementation of a wireless sensor communication system with a low power consumption for integration with energy harvesting technology, that can be employed in energy autonomous wireless sensor communication applications. The design and implementation focus on three levels: hardware, software and data transmission. The resulted system is able to satisfy all the theoretical and practical requirements in order to be included in a wireless sensor structure that is able to give the device self-powered autonomy, due to a smart inter-correlated management of the energy resources.

    Low power consumption wireless sensor communication system integrated with an energy harvesting power source
    (2013-01-22T00:00:00Z) Marsic, Vlad; Giuliano, Alessandro; Zhu, Meiling
    This paper presents the testing results of a wireless sensor communication system with low power consumption integrated with an energy harvesting power source. The experiments focus on the system's capability to perform continuous monitoring and to wirelessly transmit the data acquired from the sensors to a user base station, for realization of completely battery-free wireless sensor system. Energy harvesting technologies together with system design optimization for power consumption minimization ensure the system's energy autonomous capability demonstrated in this paper by presenting the promising testing results achieved following its integration with structural health monitoring and body area network applications.

    Performance testing of a low power consumption wireless sensor communication system integrated with an energy harvesting power source
    (2012-11-30T00:00:00Z) Marsic, Vlad; Giuliano, Alessandro; Pozzi, Michele; Zhu, Meiling; Williams, Stewart W.; Yurish, S.
    This paper presents the performance testing results of a wireless sensor communication system with low power consumption integrated with a vibration energy harvesting power source. The experiments focus on the system’s capability to perform continuous monitoring and to wirelessly transmit the data acquired from the sensors to a user base station, completely battery-free. Energy harvesting technologies together with system design optimisation for power consumption minimisation ensure the system’s energy autonomous capability demonstrated in this paper by presenting the promising testing results achieved following its integration with Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Body Area Network (BAN) applications.

    Wireless Sensor Communication System with Low Power Consumption for Integration with Energy Harvesting Technology
    (2012-12-28T00:00:00Z) Marsic, Vlad; Zhu, Meiling; Williams, Stewart W.
    This paper reports on the design and implementation of a wireless sensor communication system with a low power consumption that allows it to be integrated with the energy harvesting technology. The system design and implementation focus on reducing the power consumption at three levels: hardware, software and data transmission. The reduction in power consumption, at hardware level in particular, is mainly achieved through the introduction of an energy-aware interface (EAI) that ensures a smart inter-correlated management of the energy flow. The resulted system satisfies the requirements of a wireless sensor structure that possesses the energy autonomous capability.
