Abstract:

To improve the charging performance, employing multiple wireless chargers to charge sensors concurrently is an effective way. In such charging scenarios, the radio waves radiated from multiple chargers will interfere with each other. Though a few work have realized the wave interference, they do not fully utilize the high power caused by constructive interference while avoiding the negative impacts brought by the destructive interference. In this paper, we aim to investigate the power distribution regularity of concurrent charging and take full advantage of the high power to enhance the charging efficiency. Specifically, we formulate a concurrent charGing utility mAxImizatioN (GAIN) problem and build a practical charging model with wave interference. Further, we propose a concurrent charging scheme, which not only can improve the power of interference enhanced regions by deploying chargers, but also find a set of points with the highest power to locate sensors. Finally, we conduct both simulations and field experiments to evaluate the proposed scheme. The results demonstrate that our scheme outperforms the comparison algorithms by 40.48% on average.
