"Learning Based Channel Access, Data Collection and Computation Methods" by Hang Yu
Internet of Things (IoT) networks consist of sensing devices and gateways. Specifically, these devices monitor an environment to obtain measurements of a physical quantity such as temperature or the location of a target. A gateway or server is then required to collect and compute sensory data from devices. A critical issue in an IoT network is that devices have limited operation time due to the lack of energy. This affects the amount of data collected by devices and data processed by a gateway. To this end, prior works have considered powering devices using energy sources such as solar or wire...
