, and the battery can hence be downsized and no waiting time for charging is needed. Much research on wireless power transfer for electric vehicles has been performed over the past few decades. In this project, a powering roadway track was constructed and was experimentally validated. Design methods of loosely

This thesis presents CraneTracker, a multi-modal sensing and communication system for monitoring migratory species at the continental level. By exploiting the robust and extensive cellular infrastructure across the continent, traditional mobile wireless sensor networks can be extended to enable

radio channel periodically. Consequently, communications will not suffer from the same interference each time; instead, it should be fairer and more stable. This thesis investigates the aforementioned problem in the field of low power wireless sensor networks and Internet of Things where Contiki OS

We present Flush, a reliable, high goodput bulk data trans-port protocol for wireless sensor networks. Flush provides end-to-end reliability, reduces transfer time, and adapts to time-varying network conditions. It achieves these proper-ties using end-to-end acknowledgments, implicit snooping
