Trilateration-Inspired Sensor Node Position Estimation for UAV-Assisted Microwave Wireless Power Transfer

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted microwave wireless power transfer (WPT) enables the deployment of radio frequency (RF)-power-driven, battery-less sensor nodes in rural areas such as farm fields. Unlike in urban areas, suitable ambient radio waves for RF energy harvesting are not available in...
