论文摘要
无人驾驶汽车(UAV)有可能克服偏远地区或农村地区物联网(IoT)的部署约束。无线电动通信(WPC)可以通过将无线功率传输到IoT设备来解决IoT设备的电池限制。无人机和WPC的集成,即启用无人机的无线供电物联网(UE-WPIOT)可以极大地将物联网应用程序从城市扩展到偏远或农村地区。在本文中,我们首先说明了UE-WPIOT的工作流程并讨论挑战,我们介绍了UE-WPIOT的最新概述。然后,我们介绍了实现UE-WPIOT的支持技术。仿真结果验证了UE-WPIOT中支持技术的有效性。我们终于概述了未来的方向和开放问题。
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have the potential to overcome the deployment constraint of Internet of Things (IoT) in remote or rural area. Wirelessly powered communications (WPC) can address the battery limitation of IoT devices through transferring wireless power to IoT devices. The integration of UAVs and WPC, namely UAV-enabled Wireless Powering IoT (Ue-WPIoT) can greatly extend the IoT applications from cities to remote or rural areas. In this article, we present a state-of-the-art overview of Ue-WPIoT by first illustrating the working flow of Ue-WPIoT and discussing the challenges. We then introduce the enabling technologies in realizing Ue-WPIoT. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the enabling technologies in Ue-WPIoT. We finally outline the future directions and open issues.
