Publication Restricted Advanced concepts of piezoelectric patch-based energy harvesting and locally resonant bandgap formation in thin plates(Koç University, 2018) Aghakhani, Amirreza; Başdoğan, İpek; 0000-0001-9092-5856; Koç University Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; 179940Publication Open Access Deep neural network based minimum length scheduling in wireless powered communication networks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021) Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Ergen, Sinem Çöleri; Khan, Nasir; Faculty Member; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; College of Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; 7211; N/AMinimization of schedule length is key in ensuring the delay performance of wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs) demanding strict timing and reliability guarantees. Previous solution methodologies proposed for these wireless networks suffer from high run-time complexity, making it very difficult to solve the problem in real time. This paper considers a run-time efficient deep learning based approach for solving minimum length scheduling problem in a full-duplex WPCN. Leveraging upon the universal approximation capability of neural networks, a multi-output feed forward deep neural network based framework is proposed where inputs are the channel coefficients and outputs are the optimal power, transmission length and schedule of users. Simulation results indicate that the proposed deep learning based approach can very well approximate the true outputs with a percentage error below 1% for different network configurations while maintaining a very low run-time complexity.Publication Restricted Developing advanced techniques on modeling and system identification of piezoelectric energy harvesting systems(Koç University, 2024) Hoseyni, Seyedmorteza; Başdoğan, İpek; 0000-0001-9092-5856; Koç University Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; 179940Publication Open Access Effect of downlink energy transfer scheduling on SDMA and TDMA uplink transmission(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021) Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Ergen, Sinem Çöleri; Pehlivan, İbrahim; Faculty Member; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; College of Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; 7211; N/AThe high cost and power consumption of digital beamforming, as a result of the high number of RF chains, has overshadowed its performance on multi-antenna wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs). This setback forced researchers to low-cost alternatives such as hybrid beamforming, which decreases the number of expensive RF chains by utilizing cheaper phase shifters. This cost-cutting, however, comes with reduced control over beamforming weights and compromise performance. To circumvent this deficiency, scheduling of energy harvesting (SEH), utilizing the degree of freedom in the time domain, has been proposed. In SEH, the downlink slot is subdivided into multiple variable-length subslots with different beamforming weights. In this paper, we examine the effect of SEH on the optimization of minimum length scheduling for space division multiple access (SDMA) uplink transmission compared to time division multiple access (TDMA) uplink transmission. Via simulations, we demonstrate that SDMA benefits more from the additional degree of freedom provided by the usage of SEH for any number of nodes. However, SDMA yields inferior delay performance compared to TDMA as the number of nodes increases, which restricts the application of SDMA with SEH, making it impractical.Publication Restricted Energy and spectrum-efficient communication techniques for next-generation internet of things(Koç University, 2018) Pehlivanoğlu, Ecehan Berk; Akan, Özgür Barış; 0000-0003-2523-3858; Koç University Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 6647Publication Restricted Flexible PVDF-TrFe piezoelectric energy harvesters for structural health monitoring applications in wind turbines(Koç University, 2022) Kullukçu, Berkay; Beker, Levent; 0000-0002-9777-6619; Koç University Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; 308798Publication Restricted Mesoporous materials for electrochemical energy conversion(Koç University, 2021) Karakaya, Cüneyt; Kaya, Sarp; 0000-0002-2591-5843; Koç University Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Materials Science and Engineering; 116541Publication Restricted Next-generation internet of energy harvesting things(Koç University, 2018) Çetinkaya, Oktay; Akan, Özgür Barış; 0000-0003-2523-3858; Koç University Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 6647Publication Open Access Optimal power control and scheduling for energy harvesting wireless networked control systems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019) Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Ergen, Sinem Çöleri; Karadağ, Göksu; Faculty Member; Undergraduate Student; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; College of Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; 7211; N/AIn this paper, we introduce RF energy harvesting paradigm into WNCS framework to study the optimal power control, energy harvesting and scheduling problem with the objective of providing maximum level of adaptivity under strict timing and reliability requirements employing the constant rate transmission model. We formulate the problem as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming Problem (MILP). We show the power allocation can be separated from the scheduling and harvesting at optimality. Then, we introduce a heuristic algorithm for the scheduling problem, periodic list scheduling (PLS), inspired from list scheduling of jobs with sequence dependent setup times on identical machines. We then demonstrate via extensive simulations the superiority of the proposed algorithm in terms of closeness to the optimal, adaptivity and runtime.Publication Restricted Scheduling of energy harvesting for multi-antenna wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs)(Koç University, 2019) Pehlivan, İbrahim; Ergen, Sinem Çöleri; 0000-0002-7502-3122; Koç University Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 7211
