A model for battery behavior taking into account the recovery effect is presented. The recovery capability of the battery is represented as an exponential function of both the state of charge and the discharged capacity of the battery. Using the proposed model, the benefits of the pulsed battery discharge relative to the constant discharge are shown. Then, we introduce a new battery management technique, that, exploiting the traffic shaping algorithm leaky bucket, allows us to optimize the gain obtained from the pulsed discharge and maximize the capacity obtained from the battery. Results presenting the effect of the proposed solution on the system performance are presented for different packet arrival processes.
