Modeling the Energy Harvested by an RF Energy Harvesting System Using Gamma Processes

الملخص EN

In an Energy Harvesting system (EHS) the gamma process is used to model the electromagnetic energy received from radiofrequency (RF) radiation.

The stochastic characterization of the harvested energy as a continuous-time stochastic process, namely, gamma process, is obtained from the Nakagami-m fading model, which describes the signal reception in a large amount of types of radiofrequency channels.

Using the gamma process, some performance measures of the EHS system are obtained.

Also, a transmission policy subject to different fading conditions is considered.
