Abstract
In this paper, we study a smart home system, which incorporates an intelligent gateway serving a number of battery-powered wireless sensors. These communicate their measured data to the gateway by employing the novel Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio technology. Additionally, sensors have capability to harvest wireless energy transmitted to them from the gateway over another dedicated radio interface and thus recharge their battery. We evaluate performance of the envisioned system in terms of overall delay and waiting time, as well as battery charge level and drain probability. To this end, we construct an optimistic estimate of energy harvesting capability, mindful of power distribution and consumption, which quantifies the potential limitations of wireless energy transfer. These results may be important to improve and optimize future smart home technology deployments.
