12. Random and Hybrid Medium Access for M2M Communication : Scalability and Energy Analysis
Sammanfattning : The term machine-to-machine (M2M) communication identifies any fully automated communication between intelligent devices, autonomous from human intervention. M2M communication is a key enabling technology for the Internet of Things (IoT), where it is used to provide ubiquitous connectivity between a large number of intelligent devices. LÄS MER
13. Robust energy management for IoT machine elements
Sammanfattning : Advancements in semiconductor technology have reached the point at which ambient energy in the surrounding environment can power sensors and microprocessors. This capability enables new strategies for energy management, which are necessary to continue the sensorization of our environment. LÄS MER
14. On-chip electrochemical capacitors and piezoelectric energy harvesters for self-powering sensor nodes
Sammanfattning : On-chip sensing and communications in the Internet of things platform have benefited from the miniaturization of faster and low power complementary-metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) microelectronics. Micro-electromechanical systems technology (MEMS) and development of novel nanomaterials have further improved the performance of sensors and transducers while also demonstrating reduction in size and power consumption.
