Abstract

This paper specifically addresses the resource allocation challenges encountered in wireless sensor networks that incorporate RF energy harvesting capabilities, commonly referred to as RF-energy harvesting networks (RF-EHNs). RF energy harvesting and transmission techniques bring substantial advantages for applications requiring Quality of Service (QoS) support, as they enable proactive replenishment of  wireless devices. We commence by providing an overview of RF-EHNs, followed by an in-depth examination of the resource allocation challenges associated with this technology. In addition, we present a case study that focuses on the design of an efficient operating strategy for RF-EHN receivers. Our investigation highlights the critical aspects of service differentiation and QoS support, which have received limited attention in previous research. Besides, we explore previously unexplored areas within these domains.
