1 WIRELESS NETWORKING CONCEPTSEnergy HarvestingEnergy derivation from external or manmade resources and natural resources such as sun,wind, thermal power is termed as energy harvesting. Wireless sensor networks possesses manyautonomous objects or devices that make use of sensors for monitoring the physical andenvironmental conditions. The efficient working of wireless sensor networks needs a continuoussupply of energy and therefore different energy harvesting techniques is therefore a goodsolution for eliminating the different limitations of energy related to the wireless sensornetworks. The different energy acquiring or harvesting techniques include the use of differentnatural and manmade resources for harvesting the energy. The different energy harvestingtechniques include RF energy, solar energy, thermal energy and so on. Energy harvesting is amust need for wireless sensor networks as it need a continuous supply of energy. In case anenergy sensor node suffers depletion, it fails to perform its responsibility in the network anyfurther until it is replaced by proper energy resources. Therefore, it is an effective idea toimplement different energy harvesting techniques to eliminate the energy problems associatedwith wireless sensor networks. The longevity of the wireless sensor networks can be increasedby increasing the life of the sensor nodes. Many energy harvesting techniques can be employedin ensuring a continuous supply of power to the sensor nodes, which will in turn increase thelifetime of WSNs. Thus, the need of energy harvesting becomes more essential for WSNs inorder to reduce the use of conventional energy resources (Shaikh & Zeadally, 2016). The primary energy source of WSNs are power from a battery source, but it consists ofdifferent problems. However, there are certain problems with this power source, which includescurrent leakage even when the battery is not in use thus resulting in a huge loss of power andenergy (Ulukus et al., 2015). Therefore, a continuous energy supply is necessary to be
