New Delhi: A team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay and Monash University, Australia, has developed a new algorithm that identifies the right amount of power level, enhancing the energy efficiency of a Radio Frequency (RF)-energy harvesting network. The algorithm, in this study, uses a statistical tool called the multi-armed bandit method that does not depend on channel state information parameters, and the source identifies the optimal power output, IIT Bombay statement said. The performance results of the algorithm are presented in the journal IEEE Wireless Communications Letters. Radio Frequency (RF) signals are electromagnetic radiations used…
