| Summary: | The widespread application of terminal sensors in power pipe galleries (PPGs) has significantly improved our ability to monitor power equipment status. However, the difficulties in battery replacement caused by confined space and energy loss caused by communication conflicts between sensors due to existing low-power communication strategies results in a lack of reliable energy supply for terminal sensors. In this context, a low-power communication strategy for terminal sensors is proposed. Firstly, a demand analysis is conducted on the status monitoring of PPGs, and a technical framework for low-power communication of terminal sensors is proposed. Afterward, a system model for the low-power communication of terminal sensors is established based on cognitive backscatter technology. Subsequently, key technologies, such as RF energy harvesting of terminal sensors and distance–energy level coupling analysis, are proposed to achieve continuous energy supply and avoid communication conflicts in the system model. Finally, a wireless communication simulation environment for PPGs is established to simulate the status monitoring process, based on terminal sensors, in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. |
