ENergy-Aware Sensing and DUty Cycling PRotocols for BattEryless Internet of Things using On-device and federaTed learning

Objective

Future wireless technologies, such as sixth generation (6G) wireless networks, are relying significantly on low-power and low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) devices with extremely long lifetime. This increases the demand for batteries to power up IoT devices, which contain toxic substances that adversely affect the surrounding environment and ecological systems. The energy harvesting (EH) technology enables the development of batteryless IoT (BL-IoT) devices to promote environmental sustainability. However, the existing solutions for BL-IoT devices, such as sensing and communication protocols, do not account realistic operational scenarios and are bound to specific design parameters, which limit their performance and applicability in real-world scenarios. To address this, ENSURE-IoT aims to integrate EH technology with IoT and advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to create novel, realistic, and intelligent energy-aware sensing and communication protocols based on theoretical models, simulation, and experimental validation for BL-IoT devices. Furthermore, the project will develop and deploy efficient and resource-friendly on-device learning and federated learning models to optimize decisions on both parts: the BL-IoT device to optimize decision accuracy locally, as well as on the access point under different circumstances. These AI models will facilitate BL-IoT devices to make energy-aware decisions in dynamic EH conditions. The performance of the developed solutions will be validated using theoretical modelling, simulation and hardware, and will be compared with benchmark protocols in dynamic EH conditions. The project results are expected to encourage wider adoption of BL-IoT solutions and to contribute to various Sustainable Development Goals, as well as EU policies, including the EU Green Deal, Net-Zero Industry Act, and Europe's Internet of Things policy.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
