Wireless networking has experienced a great deal of popularity, and significant advances have been made in wireless technology. However, energy efficiency of radio communication systems is still a critical issue due to the limited battery capacity of portable devices. In this paper, we deal with the charge recovery effect that takes place in electrochemical cells and show how we can take advantage of this mechanism to increase the energy delivered by a battery. Then, we present energy-aware traffic shaping techniques, as well as scheduling and routing algorithms, which exploit the battery recovery effect.
