How to use solar cell for simultaneous energy harvesting and communication?

To use the solar cell for simultaneous energy harvesting and communication, two branches, shown in , are connected as a load across the two ends shown in ]. In the communication branch, a capacitor, , connected in series to a load, , is used to block the DC signal.

Can solar cells improve optical wireless communication across satellite-air-ground-ocean boundaries?

To this end, we propose that solar cells with the dual functions of energy harvesting and signal acquisition are critical for alleviating energy-related issues and enabling optical wireless communication (OWC) across the satellite–air–ground–ocean (SAGO) boundaries.

Can solar cells be used in 5G communication networks?

Recent advances in solar cell-based optical wireless communication (OWC) have led to promising market prospects for solar cells in fifth-generation (5G) communication networks and beyond for signal detection [ ].

Can solar cells be used for simultaneous signal acquisition?

In terms of the receiver, recent studies have shown that the off-the-shelf solar cells widely used for energy harvesting in satellites, buildings, and streetlights have significant application prospects in FSO for simultaneous signal acquisition [ ], where this can help resolve energy-related issues.
