La technologie de transfert d'énergie par radiofréquence (RET) a été introduite comme méthode prometteuse de récupération d'énergie (EH) pour fournir de l'énergie dans les systèmes de communication sans fil (WLC) et de communication par ligne électrique (PLC). Cependant, les protocoles MAC (contrôle d'accès moyen) modifiés par RET actuels ont été proposés uniquement pour les systèmes WLC. En raison de la différence de norme MAC entre les systèmes WLC et PLC, ces protocoles ne conviennent pas aux systèmes PLC. Par conséquent, comment utiliser la technologie RET pour modifier le protocole MAC des systèmes PLC (c'est-à-dire IEEE 1901), qui peut utiliser le signal radiofréquence pour fournir la puissance de transmission et le support PLC pour terminer la transmission des données, c'est-à-dire réaliser la « coopération » la communication» reste un défi. Pour résoudre ce problème, nous proposons un protocole MAC modifié RET pour les systèmes PLC (RET-PLC MAC). Premièrement, nous améliorons la séquence de trames PLC standard en ajoutant des trames de consultation et de confirmation, afin que la station puisse obtenir l'énergie récupérée appropriée, une fois qu'elle a occupé le support PLC, et que le système PLC puisse être exploité de manière autonome et à la demande. . Sur cette base, nous présentons le principe de fonctionnement de RET-PLC MAC. Ensuite, nous établissons un modèle analytique pour permettre la vérification mathématique du MAC RET-PLC. Un modèle de chaîne de Markov discrète à 2 dimensions est utilisé pour dériver les résultats de l'analyse numérique du RET-PLC MAC. Les impacts de la taille de la mémoire tampon, du taux de trafic, du processus de compteur de report de 1901, de l'environnement hétérogène et de la qualité de l'information (QoI) sont pris en compte de manière exhaustive dans le processus de modélisation. De plus, nous en déduisons les résultats optimaux du débit du système et de la QoI attendue. Grâce à des simulations approfondies, nous montrons les performances de RET-PLC MAC sous différents paramètres du système et vérifions le modèle analytique correspondant. Notre travail fournit des informations sur la réalisation d'une communication coopérative au niveau de la couche MAC de l'automate.

Abstract: Radio frequency energy transfer (RET) technology has been introduced as a promising energy harvesting (EH) method to supply power in both wireless communication (WLC) and power-line communication (PLC) systems. However, current RET modified MAC (medium access control) protocols have been proposed only for WLC systems. Due to the difference in the MAC standard between WLC and PLC systems, these protocols are not suitable for PLC systems. Therefore, how to utilize RET technology to modify the MAC protocol of PLC systems (i.e., IEEE 1901), which can use the radio frequency signal to provide the transmission power and the PLC medium to finish the data transmission, i.e., realizing the ‘cooperative communication’ remains a challenge. To resolve this problem, we propose a RET modified MAC protocol for PLC systems (RET-PLC MAC). Firstly, we improve the standard PLC frame sequence by adding consultation and confirmation frames, so that the station can obtain suitable harvested energy, once it occupied the PLC medium, and the PLC system can be operated in an on-demand and self-sustainable manner. On this basis, we present the working principle of RET-PLC MAC. Then, we establish an analytical model to allow mathematical verification of RET-PLC MAC. A 2-dimension discrete Markov chain model is employed to derive the numerical analysis results of RET-PLC MAC. The impacts of buffer size, traffic rate, deferral counter process of 1901, heterogeneous environment and quality of information (QoI) are comprehensively considered in the modeling process. Moreover, we deduce the optimal results of system throughput and expected QoI. Through extensive simulations, we show the performance of RET-PLC MAC under different system parameters, and verify the corresponding analytical model. Our work provides insights into realizing cooperative communication at PLC's MAC layer.
