For large wireless sensor networks running on battery power, the time synchronization of all sensor nodes is becoming a crucial task for waking up sensor nodes with exact timing and controlling transmission and reception timing. However, as network size increases, this synchronization process tends to require long processing time consume significant power. Furthermore, a naïve synchronization scheduler may leave some nodes unsynchronized. This paper proposes a power-efficient scheduling algorithm for time synchronization utilizing the notion of density, which is defined by the number of neighboring nodes within wireless range. The proposed scheduling algorithm elects a sequence of minimal reference nodes that can complete the synchronization with the smallest possible number of hops and lowest possible power consumption. Additionally, it ensures coverage of all sensor nodes utilizing a two-pass synchronization scheduling process. We implemented the proposed synchronization algorithm in a network simulator. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can reduce the power consumption required for the periodic synchronization process by up to 40% for large sensor networks compared to a simplistic multi-hop synchronization method.

The wireless power transfer (WPT) charging system for AGV depends highly on the coupling conditions due to air gap variation. To attain stable output power with high transfer efficiency under various coupling conditions, a single-stage, DC-DC converter that operates with robustness to changes in air gaps is proposed for the WPT system. The proposed converter is capable of soft switching under the set input voltage (V_in: 380 V_DC), load conditions (0-1 kW), and air gap changes (30-70 mm). In addition, a wide output voltage range (Vo: 39-54 V_DC) can be controlled by varying the link voltage due to the phase control at a fixed switching frequency. Experimental results are verified using a prototype of a 1 kW wireless power charging system.

The wireless medium is known to be time-varying which could affect and result to a poor network's performance. As a solution, an opportunistic scheduling and power control algorithm based on IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is proposed in this paper. The algorithm opportunistically exploits the channel condition for better network performance. Convex optimization problems were also formulated i.e. the overall transmission power of the system is minimized and the "net-utility" of he system is maximized. We have proven that an optimal transmission power vector may exist, satisfying the maximum power and SINR constraints at all receivers, thereby minimizing overall transmission power and maximizing net-utility of the system.

This paper proposes an experimental optimization method for a wireless power transfer (WPT) system. The power transfer characteristics of a WPT system with arbitrary loads and various types of coupling and compensation networks can be extracted by frequency domain measurements. The various performance parameters of the WPT system, such as input real/imaginary/apparent power, power factor, efficiency, output power and voltage gain, can be accurately extracted in a frequency domain by a single passive measurement. Subsequently, the design parameters can be efficiently tuned by separating the overall design steps into two parts. The extracted performance parameters of the WPT system were validated with time-domain experiments.

In this paper, 5.8GHz 25W microwave wireless power transmission system was developed. The transmission system is composed of a signal generator, a 1W drive amplifier, a 25W power amplifier, and a circularly polarized transmission antenna. The receiving system was fabricated with an integrated receiver that combines a circularly polarized receiving antenna, a pass band filter, and an RF-DC converter. And a multi-integrated receiver had twelve parts, including an integrated receiver. Under the conditions, voltage and current were measured for the system at 5cm intervals from a minimum distance of 5cm to a maximum distance of 80cm. The power was calculated for the system. The results of the system are shown in tables and graphs. The power decreases with distance, but the power does not drop sharply due to a multi-integrated receiver.

This paper describes the role of mutual impedance and the transducer power gain which comes from key parameters to determine the amount of wireless power especially in a near-field environment. These two key parameters are applied to the two configurations; one is a dipole-dipole, and the other is a dipole-metal plate-loop configuration. Discussions are given on the achievable maximum power transfer between the sender and the receiver affected by the matching and the pass blockage.

Given an object, its positioning in the space is a main concern in structural monitoring and a required feedback in structural health monitoring, structural control and robotics. In addition, to make the sensor unit wireless is a crucial issue for advanced applications. This paper deals with the exploitation of wireless transmission technology to long-term monitoring GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers - like the Leica GMX 902 and the Leica GRX 1200-pro. These GPS receivers consist of five parts: antenna, receiver, user client computer, interface and power supply. The antenna is mounted on the object to be monitored and is connected with the receiver by a coaxial-cable through which the radio frequency signals are transmitted. The receiver unit acquires, tracks and demodulates the satellite signals and provides, through an interface which in this paper is made wireless, the resulting GPS raw data to the user client computer for being further processed by a suitable positioning algorithm. The power supply reaches the computer by a wired link, while the other modules rely on batteries re-charged by power harvesting devices. Two wireless transmission systems, the 24XStream and the CC1110, are applied to replace the cable transmission between the receiver and the user client computer which up to now was the only market offer. To verify the performance and the reliability of this wireless transmission system, some experiments are conducted. The results show a successful cable replacement.
