3. Conventional Powered Communication
Networks
• Need manual battery recharging/replacement.
• Inapplicable in some scenarios
• Body sensors,
• sensors in dangerous environment (Volcanos, …
etc.)
• Costly inefficient.

4. Naturally Powered Communication Networks
(Energy Harvesting)
• Energy source (renewable)
• Sun, Wind, …, etc.
• Costly inefficient.
• Bulky (big size).
• Not on-demand (uncontrollable).

5. Wireless Power Transfer, The Early Trials
• “Wardenclyffe Tower”, also known as (aka) the “Tesla Tower”.
• A Wireless transmission station designed and built by Nikola Tesla in New York in 1901.
• Tesla intended to transmit messages, telephony and even facsimile images across the
Atlantic to England and to ships at sea.
• Intended for wireless power transfer at 150 KHz and 300 kW, un-succeeded and never
put in practice.
• Additional investment could not be found and the project was abandoned in 1906 and
never became operational.

6. Wireless Powered Communication Networks
(RF-Energy Harvesting)
• Small size receivers.
• On-demand charging (controllable).
• Cost efficient.
• Low efficiency, but Still under
development.
• Reported that 3.5mW and 1uW of
wireless power can be harvested from RF
signals at distances of 0.6 and 11 meters,
respectively, using Powercast RF energy
harvester operating at 915MHz.
