Title: Adaptive Communication for Battery-Free IoT devices

Abstract: With the ever-growing usage of batteries in the IoT era, the need for more eco-friendly technologies is clear. RF-powered computing enables the redesign of personal computing devices in a battery-less manner. While there has been substantial work on the underlying methods for RF-powered computing, practical applications of this technology has largely been limited to scenarios that involve simple tasks. This talk discusses how RFID technology, typically used to implement object identification and counting, can be exploited to realize a battery-free smart home. In particular, this talk considers the coexistence of several battery-free devices, with different transmission requirements - periodic, event-based, and real-time - and proposes a new approach to dynamically collect information from devices without requiring any a priori knowledge of the environment.
