Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, aiming at the realization of ultra low-power wireless communications system, we studied on-demand communications, which utilize supplied energy only when communications are needed, and on-supply communications, which adapt communications control to the amount of energy supplied by energy-harvesting technologies. We developed communications schemes and protocols that are required for on-demand and on-supply communications to be integrated into WiFi and wireless sensor networks, which are fundamental technologies in IoT paradigm. We validated effectiveness of the developed schemes and protocols with theoretical analysis, computer simulations, and experimental evaluations.
