Abstract :
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are typically used in application areas without wired infrastructure. WSNs must be energy efficient, because they are powered by batteries or energy harvesting systems. Teaching of practical aspects of energy harvesting enhanced WSNs can be improved by integration of performance-centered tasks. This work presents an educational remote lab concept for energy harvesting enhanced WSNs. Students can learn how WSNs work and how energy harvesting influences their behavior. It is part of the European project Remote-labs Access in Internet-based Performance-centered Learning Environment for Curriculum Support.
