In this article, we study an industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) network with a sink/gateway that is capable of decoding multiple transmissions via successive interference cancellation (SIC), and energy harvesting devices tasked with providing complete targets coverage of targets. In particular, we study a novel question: how to schedule the sensing and transmission of these devices to ensure complete target coverage over time? We outline a mixed integer linear program (MILP) and two heuristic ...

Rahul Mazumder of MIT Sloan finds better ways to create and refine statistical models and apply them to particular problems. His work pertains to areas including statistics and operations research, with applications in finance, health care, advertising, online recommendations, and more.

This paper considers a Radio Frequency (RF) powered Internet of Things (IoT) network that exploits ambient backscatter communications to maximize the minimum number of samples of targets. We propose a Maximum Backscatter Opportunity Search (MBOS) heuristic algorithm to construct set covers to ensure complete targets coverage. Our results demonstrate that the performance of MBOS is within 91% of the optimal number of samples and it is 25% higher as compared to not using backscattering.
