Efficient Wireless Power Transfer in Software-Defined Wireless Sensor Networks

The ever-growing increase in modern and ubiquitous applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is causing energy scarcity, which is a serious threat to the lifetime of the network. Wireless power transfer emerges as a promising solution to replenish the sensor nodes. In wireless power transfer, energy is transferred to sensor nodes through dedicated energy transmitters. In addition, software-defined WSNs (SDWSNs) have been recently realized...
