Application and Energy-Aware Data Aggregation using Vector Synchronization in Distributed Battery-less IoT Networks
The battery-less Internet of Things (IoT) devices are a key element in the
sustainable green initiative for the next-generation wireless networks. These
battery-free devices use the ambient energy, harvested from the environment.
The energy harvesting environment is dynamic and causes intermittent task
execution. The harvested energy is stored in small capacitors and it is
challenging to assure the application task execution. The main goal is to
provide a mechanism to aggregate the sensor data and provide a sustainable
application support in the distributed battery-less IoT network. We model the
distributed IoT network system consisting of many battery-free IoT sensor
hardware modules and heterogeneous IoT applications that are being supported in
the device-edge-cloud continuum. The applications require sensor data from a
distributed set of battery-less hardware modules and there is provision of
joint control over the module actuators. We propose an application-aware task
and energy manager (ATEM) for the IoT devices and a vector-synchronization
based data aggregator (VSDA). The ATEM is supported by device-level federated
energy harvesting and system-level energy-aware heterogeneous application
management. In our proposed framework the data aggregator forecasts the
available power from the ambient energy harvester using long-short-term-memory
(LSTM) model and sets the device profile as well as the application task rates
accordingly. Our proposed scheme meets the heterogeneous application
requirements with negligible overhead; reduces the data loss and packet delay;
increases the hardware component availability; and makes the components
available sooner as compared to the state-of-the-art.Comment: 10 pages, 11 figure
