Abstract
The energy harvesting is suggested and studied as the solution for energy constraint in wireless sensor network. In this paper, we propose a new duty cycle control algorithm in wireless sensor network with energy harvesting capability. This algorithm is designed to provide self-synchronization of a sensor and a system as they are concurrently activated during harvesting energy or at upper level of battery, and to guarantee the energy neutral operation of a sensor or a system. In order to achieve this purpose, we propose a neighbor discovery mechanism, a self-synchronization control mechanism and an energy model. We perform simulation with diverse parameters. From the results of simulations, we may ascertain that the proposed algorithm provides self-synchronization and the energy neutral operation regardless of the number of sensor.
