Abstract(in English) A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a sink and sensor nodes that use battery for sensing, computations, and wireless communications. Because a battery is finite energy source, its replacement becomes mandatory in WSN. Therefore, Energy Harvesting WSNs (EH-WSNs) have gained increasing attention to realize battery-less WSNs. In EH-WSNs, each node harvests ambient energy, such as light, heat, vibration, and stores it to an energy storage device. Consequently, EH-WSNs can operate for very long periods of time without batteries. As a MAC scheme for EH-WSNs, probabilistic polling has been proposed. In probabilistic polling, a sink broadcasts a polling packet containing probability that a sensor node should transmit its data packet as a response. However, the conventional probabilistic polling does not adapt to the harvest rate of each node, which results in poor fairness. In order to solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a fair polling scheme for EH-WSNs which adapts to the harvest rate of each node. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme by computer simulations employing a practical model of harvested energy with solor energy harvesters.
