Performance Evaluation of RF-Powered IoT in Rural Areas: The Wireless Power Digital Divide

Hao Lin, Mustafa A. Kishk, Mohamed‐Slim Alouini · 2024 · IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking

Summary. This paper evaluates wireless power transfer for battery-less IoT devices in rural areas using ambient radio-frequency signals. The researchers model rural networks with base stations and access points as RF signal sources and analyze coverage probability based on energy harvesting and signal quality requirements. Devices at the center of rural areas achieve twice the coverage of edge devices, and deploying 100 access points in small rural areas (under 100m radius) can support over 80% of RF-powered IoT devices.
