Description

A number of studies have been proposed to tackle the task of monitoring large areas by deploying a wireless sensor network. When communication infrastructure is unavailable, or the region is not easily accessible, data can be retrieved from such networks by using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as gateways to a base station, creating a UAV-assisted Wireless Sensor Network (UAV-WSN). However, providing regular maintenance for an extensive WSN is impractical, leading to devices with limited service life. In this study, we explore the integration of batteryless sensors powered by energy harvesting within UAV-WSNs. We focus on passive wake-up radios, proposing a simple design and discussing the results of real-world experiments.
