There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
The objective of the proposed research is to develop power management for Internet of Battery-less Things (IoBT). With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) and IoT-related services, how to power such a gigantic number of IoT systems in a cost-efficient and environment-friendly way becomes a bottleneck problem. Empowered by energy harvesting technologies, IoBT is a promising solution with prolonged lifetime and self-sustainable operation. First, node-level power management is explored to optimize the energy efficiency for IoBT systems with the scarce hardware and dynamic ambient energy generation. Then, network-level resource management is developed to achieve optimal Quality of Service (QoS) for IoBT-operated networks. With the node-level and network-level power managers, the proposed research provides a holistic power management framework for IoBT.
