WIRELESS DEVICE POWERED BY MEMS WITH ADAPTIVE COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A wireless device includes a wireless interface, a Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) energy harvesting component, energy storage coupled to the MEMS energy harvesting component, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine an amount of energy collected by the MEMS energy harvesting component or stored in the energy storage in response to an energy collection event, based upon the amount of energy collected, determine wireless communication operations, and communicate with a remote device via the wireless interface according to the determined wireless communication operations. The determined wireless communication operations may be a communication format for use in communicating with the remote device, a communication frequency band for use in communicating with the remote device, an amount of data to be transmitted to the remote device, the amount of energy collected for the energy collection event, or a number of transmissions and receipts to communicate with the remote device.
