An Efficient Approach for Wireless Rechargeable Sensor Networks for Vehicle Charging

The use of wireless power transfer technology in Wireless Rechargeable Sensor Networks (WRSNs) could assist in charging batteries wirelessly by means of wireless charging vehicles (WCVs), which will increase battery life. WCVs may lose power mid-trip due to inadequate battery power. There are relatively few studies that consider how WCVs' batteries discharge while traveling through the network, leading to their being stranded in between charge sessions. This research study present a framework to charge sensors within a wireless sensor network with an assist from vehicles and formulate a bi-objective scheduling problem involving WCVs starting at a base station, charging sensors, and returning with the goal of minimizing the amount of energy consumed by the vehicle's movement. An offline algorithm is proposed to tackle the problem. Our suggested algorithms were evaluated against current schemes using detailed simulations, resulting in our algorithms outperforming existing methods when it comes to charging many sensors.
