Effects of Imperfect Hardware and Energy Harvesting Nonlinearity on Wireless Networks

By scavenging radio frequency energy and generating artificial interference, the work aims to meliorate energy efficiency and data security for wireless networks. The security performance is evaluated to study effects of energy harvesting nonlinearity and imperfect hardware on wireless networks with energy scavenging and artificial interference generation. Towards this end, the work presents abundant results generated by MonteCarlo simulations in divergent pivotal specifications. Multiple results expose detrimental impacts of imperfect hardware and energy harvesting nonlinearity but considerable security improvement of scavenging radio frequency energy and generating artificial interference.
