All rights reserved.In this article, a low-cost electromagnetic structure emulating photonic nanojets is utilized to improve the efficiency of wireless relay networks. The spectral element method, due to its high accuracy, is used to verify the efficiency of the proposed structure by solving the associate field distribution. The application of optimal single-relay selection method shows that full diversity gain with low complexity can be achieved. In this paper, the proposed technique using smart relays combines the aforementioned two methods to attain the benefits of both methods by achieving the highest coding and diversity gain and enhances the overall network performance in terms of bit error rate (BER). Moreover, we analytically prove the advantage of using the proposed technique. In our simulations, it can be shown that the proposed technique outperforms the best known state-of-the-art single relay selection technique. Furthermore, the BER expressions obtained from the theoretical analysis are perfectly matched to those obtained from the conducted simulations.

An Energy Aware Fuzzy Unequal Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks
Bagci, Hakan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2010-07-23)
In order to gather information more efficiently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are partitioned into clusters. The most of the proposed clustering algorithms do not consider the location of the base station. This situation causes hot spots problem in multi-hop WSNs. Unequal clustering mechanisms, which are designed by considering the base station location, solve this problem. In this paper, we introduce a fuzzy unequal clustering algorithm (EAUCF) which aims to prolong the lifetime of WSNs. EAUCF adjusts t...
A Randomized Scheduling Algorithm for Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks Achieving Nearly 100% Throughput
Gül, Ömer Melih; Uysal, Elif (2014-04-09)
This paper considers a single-hop wireless network where a fusion center (FC) collects data from a set of m energy harvesting (EH) sensors. In each time slot, k of m nodes can be scheduled by the FC for transmission over k communication channels. FC has no knowledge about the EH processes and current battery states of sensors; however, it knows the outcomes of previous transmission attempts. Also, battery leakage is ignored since it is very small. The objective is to find a low complexity scheduling policy ...
A Self-Powered and Efficient Rectifier for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters
Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2014-11-05)
This paper presents an interface circuit for efficient rectification of voltages from electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesters operating with very low vibration frequencies. The interface utilizes a dual-rail AC/DC doubler which benefits from the full cycle of the input AC voltage, and minimizes the forward bias voltage drop with an active diode structure. The active diodes are powered through an AC/DC quadrupler with diode connected (passive) transistors. The interface system has been validated to drive 22 m...
A development tool for design and analysis of MEMS based EM energy scavengers
Turkyilmaz, Serol; Külah, Haluk; Muhtaroglu, Ali (2010-12-01)
This paper presents a development tool for estimating the performance of an electromagnetic (EM) vibration-to-electrical MEMS energy scavenger for low power mobile computing and wireless sensor applications. The tool takes design and excitation parameters as input, and estimates output voltage waveforms and power levels. It has been correlated against validation data, and used for early evaluation and design of new MEMS modules, which could not be optimized using off-the-shelf design packages. The tool was ...
A New Temperature-Tolerant RF MEMS Switch Structure Design and Fabrication for Ka-Band Applications

In this paper, the design and fabrication of a new radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch structure is presented. This RF MEMS switch is developed to get the minimum permanent deformation on the microbridge after 200 degrees C thermal treatment. The residual stress-based buckling on the MEMS bridge is simulated for 5-40-MPa/mu m stress gradient (Delta sigma) with 5-MPa/mu m steps. The temperature-dependent extension and deformation on the MEMS bridge are modeled up to 270 degrees C...
