  • Abstract
    We derive the throughput of an energy-constrained mobile network, where wireless charging vehicles recharge the battery of each mobile node. We find that the throughput is closely related to the ratio between the number of nodes n and the number of wireless charging vehicles m. Through analytic and numerical results, we show that the scaling law of the throughput is Θ(min(1, m/n) cmin(1, m/n)), where c is constant (0<;c<;1).
