Nikoletseas S., Yang Y., Georgiadis A. (eds.) Wireless Power Transfer Algorithms, Technologies and Applications in Ad Hoc Communication Networks

Springer, 2016. — 745 p.This book is the first systematic exposition on the emerging domain of wireless power transfer in ad hoc communication networks . It selectively spans a coherent, large spectrum of fundamental aspects of wireless power transfer, such as mobility management in the network, combined wireless power and information transfer, energy flow among network devices, joint activities with wireless power transfer (routing, data gathering and solar energy harvesting), safety provisioning through electromagnetic radiation control, as well as fundamental and novel circuits and technologies enabling the wide application of wireless powering.The content is organized into six thematic parts , covering respective common aspects, issues, and methodologies : Technologies, Communication, Mobility, Energy Flow, Joint Operations, and Electromagnetic Radiation Awareness. Because
of the inherent relations of different topics, layers, and problems, many chapters could have been associated with more than one theme, and the themes them selves could have been chosen in a different manner. In total, 27 chapters are included, contributed by leading relevant experts worldwide.
