Battery lifetime is a key impediment to long-lasting low power sensor nodes. Energy or power harvesting mitigates the ependency on battery power, by converting ambient energy into electrical energy. This energy can then be used by the device for data collection and transmission. This paper proposes and analyses a queueing model to assess performance of such an energy harvesting sensor node. Accounting for energy harvesting, data collection and data transmission opportunities, the sensor node is modelled as a paired queueing system. The system has two queues, one representing accumulated energy and the other being the data queue. By means of some numerical examples, we investigate the energy-information trade-off.
