As IoT-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) become more prevalent, the issue of energy shortages becomes more pressing. One potential solution is the use of wireless power transfer (WPT) technology, which is the key to building a new shape of wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs). However, efficient charging and scheduling are critical for WRSNs to function properly. Motivated by the fact that probabilistic techniques can help enhance the effectiveness of charging scheduling for WRSNs, this article addresses the aforementioned issue and proposes a novel ISAC-assisted WRSN protocol. In particular, our proposed protocol considers several factors to balance the charging load on each mobile charging vehicle (MCV), uses an efficient charging factor strategy to partially charge network devices, and employs the ISAC concept to reduce the traveling cost of each MCV and prevent charging conflicts. Simulation results demonstrate that this protocol outperforms other classic, cutting-edge protocols in multiple areas., Comment: Accepted for publication in the Special Issue Q1'2024, "Integrating Sensing and Communication for Ubiquitous Internet of Things," IEEE Internet of Things Magazine
