DESCRIPTION:Wireless sensor nodes are characterized by limited energy sourc
 es. Although the interest in wireless connectivity is ever-increasing and 
 the need for Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications\, such as automated rem
 ote access\, monitoring\, and control are well-appreciated\, widespread ad
 option of networked wireless devices is largely constrained by their affor
 dable deployment and maintenance costs and convenience of their long-term 
 usage.\nTo this end\, while energy-efficient protocol design is a key for 
 long-lasting network operation\, energy harvesting-aware solutions are bec
 oming widely popular as green and affordable approaches towards sustainabl
 e network operation. Since ambient energy harvesting is not reliable or su
 itable for many field applications\, an interesting approach is charging t
 hem via wireless energy transfer. In this presentation\, we will discuss t
 he limitations of radio frequency (RF) energy transfer\, the performance o
 f multihop RF energy transfer\, and some of the use cases of RF energy\ntr
 ansfer combined with wireless information transfer. In particular\, we wil
 l discuss the possible ways of improving RF energy transfer efficiency thr
 ough passive and active distributed beamforming. The role of polarization 
 along with phase alignment in achieving maximum beamforming gain will be d
 iscussed. Throughout the presentation\, we will mutually corroborate our e
 xperimental findings and analytical intuitions in a few application scenar
 ios.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE North Jersey Section\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Swad

 by limited energy sources. Although the interest in wireless connectivity 
 is ever-increasing and the need for Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications\
 , such as automated remote access\, monitoring\, and control are well-appr
 eciated\, widespread adoption of networked wireless devices is largely con
 strained by their affordable deployment and maintenance costs and convenie
 nce of their long-term usage.<br clear="none" />To this end\, while energy
 -efficient protocol design is a key for long-lasting network operation\, e
 nergy harvesting-aware solutions are becoming widely popular as green and 
 affordable approaches towards sustainable network operation. Since ambient
  energy harvesting is not reliable or suitable for many field applications
 \, an interesting approach is charging them via wireless energy transfer. 
 In this presentation\, we will discuss the limitations of radio frequency 
 (RF) energy transfer\, the performance of multihop RF energy transfer\, an
