Peer-to-peer wireless power transfer (P2P-WPT) enables portable devices to mutually exchange energy. In opportunistic mobile networks, P2P-WPT can be uncertain due to the varying user inter-meeting duration. Existing P2P-WPT methods (unrealistically) assume the users to be exchanging energy at each opportunity, to be able to interact with all users, or the inter-node meeting duration to be unaffected by users' mobility. In this paper, in contrast to the state-of-the-art, not only we constitute more fine-grained, realistic assumptions for P2PWPT, but also we design MobiWEB, a mobility-aware energy balancing method, which employs (for the first time) a predictor for estimating the mobility information of users. MobiWEB selects the different pairs of peers for energy exchange, such that the network energy distribution is balanced while minimizing the loss and energy difference between the peers. MobiWEB, when compared to the state-of-the-art, achieves different performance trade-offs between energy balance quality, convergence time, and energy-efficiency.

Abstract

Peer-to-peer wireless power transfer (P2P-WPT) enables portable devices to mutually exchange energy. In opportunistic mobile networks, P2P-WPT can be uncertain due to the varying user inter-meeting duration. Existing P2P-WPT methods (unrealistically) assume the users to be exchanging energy at each opportunity, to be able to interact with all users, or the inter-node meeting duration to be unaffected by users' mobility. In this paper, in contrast to the state-of-the-art, not only we constitute more fine-grained, realistic assumptions for P2PWPT, but also we design MobiWEB, a mobility-aware energy balancing method, which employs (for the first time) a predictor for estimating the mobility information of users. MobiWEB selects the different pairs of peers for energy exchange, such that the network energy distribution is balanced while minimizing the loss and energy difference between the peers. MobiWEB, when compared to the state-of-the-art, achieves different performance trade-offs between energy balance quality, convergence time, and energy-efficiency.
