| Summary: | Despite their constant evolution over the last few decades, wireless communication networks still struggle with energy conservation. The problem manifests itself in many applications, in particular wireless sensor networks, where communications do not occur frequently and nodes often remain idle, and also small-scale communication networks, whose nodes need to be minuscule. Such applications can achieve optimal energy-efficiency using passive (battery-less) receivers that
wirelessly receive energy and information at the same time. In this thesis, we present techniques to simultaneously deliver energy alongside information during wireless communications. |
