The gamma process is a stochastic process extensively used to model the degradation of a system
over the time. In this paper, gamma process is used in a different perspective: to model the harvested energy
for an Energy Harvesting System (EHS). Energy harvesting refers to harnessing energy from the environment
or other energy sources and converting it to electrical energy. Specifically, in this work, gamma process is used
to model the harvested energy for a Radio Frequency Energy Harvesting System. A management policy of this
EHS is described.
