ABSTRACT
In this demo, we explore the critical role that power plays in the development of a mm-scale system. We argue that any practical deployment of a mm-scale system must have a significant energy harvesting component. We demo the newest M3 system, a self-contained, 1 mm3, energy-harvesting computing platform capable of short-range (order cm) wireless transmission. Finally, we present some of the M3's innovations that enable its current basic operation and discuss some of the open problems that remain before a smart dust network becomes operable.

Energy harvesting discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism in wireless powered cellular networks
The energy harvesting paradigm enables the design of new wireless powered cellular networks (WPCNs) for the Internet‐of‐Things (IoT). In a WPCN, if the harvested energy is larger than the consumed energy, an IoT device may utilise the surplus harvested ...
