报告摘要:

Recent breakthroughs in wireless energy transfer, based on rechargeable lithium batteries, provide a promising application of mobile vehicles. These mobile vehicles act as mobile chargers to transfer energy wirelessly to static sensors in an efficient way. In this talk, we discuss some of our results on several charging and coverage problems involving multiple mobile chargers. In collaborative mobile charging, a fixed charging location provides a source of energy to mobile chargers, which in turn are allowed to recharge each other while collaboratively charging static sensors. The objective is to ensure sensor coverage while maximizing the ratio of the amount of payload energy (used to charge sensors) to overhead energy (used to move mobile chargers from one location to another). This is done such that none of the sensors will run out of batteries. Here, sensor coverage spans both dimensions of time and space. We also study another variation, in which all mobile chargers have batteries of unlimited capacity. The objective is then to deploy and schedule a minimum number of mobile chargers that can cover all sensors with uniform and non-uniform recharging frequencies.
