The vision of seamlessly integrating information transfer (IT) and microwave based power transfer (PT) in the same system has led to the emergence of a new research area, called wirelessly power communications (WPC). Extensive research has been conducted on developing WPC theory and techniques, building on the extremely rich wireless communications litera- ture covering diversified topics such as transmissions, resource allocations, medium access control and network protocols and architectures. Despite these research efforts, transforming WPC from theory to practice still faces many unsolved prob- lems concerning issues such as mobile complexity, power transfer efficiency, and safety. Furthermore, the fundamental limits of WPC remain largely unknown. Recent attempts to address these open issues has resulted in the emergence of numerous new research trends in the WPC area. A few promising trends are introduced in this article. From the practical perspective, the use of backscatter antennas can support WPC for low-complexity passive devices, the design of spiky waveforms can improve the PT efficiency, and analog spatial decoupling is proposed for solving the PT-IT near-far problem in WPC. From the theoretic perspective, the fundamental limits of WPC can be quantified by leveraging recent results on super-directivity and the limit can be improved by the deployment of large-scale distributed antenna arrays. Specific research problems along these trends are discussed, whose solutions can lead to significant advancements in WPC.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is a viable source of energy for wirelessly powered communication networks (WPCNs). In this paper, we first consider WPT from an energy access point (E-AP) to multiple energy receivers (E-Rs) to obtain the optimal policy that maximizes the WPT efficiency. For this purpose, we formulate the problem of maximizing the total average received power of the E-Rs subject to the average and peak power level constraints of the E-AP. The formulated problem is a non-convex stochastic optimization problem. Using some stochastic optimization techniques, we tackle the challenges of this problem and derive a closed-form expression for the optimal solution, which requires the explicit knowledge of the distribution of channel state information (CSI) in the network. We then propose a near-optimal algorithm that does not require any explicit knowledge of the CSI distribution and prove that the proposed algorithm attains a near-optimal solution within a guaranteed gap to the optimal solution. We next consider fairness among the E-Rs and propose a quality of service (QoS) aware fair policy that maximizes a generic network utility function while guaranteeing the required QoS of each E-R. Finally, we study a practical wirelessly powered communication scenario in which the E-Rs utilize their energy harvested through WPT to transmit information to the E-AP. We optimize the received information at the E-AP under its average and peak transmission power constraints and the fairness constraints of the E-Rs. Numerical results show the significant performance of our proposed solutions compared to the state-of-the-art baselines.
In this paper, we investigate the optimal design of a wireless-powered covert communication (WP-CC) system, in which a probabilistic accumulate-then-transmit (ATT) protocol is proposed to maximize the communication covertness subject to a quality-of-service (QoS) requirement on communication. Specifically, in the considered WP-CC system, a full-duplex (FD) receiver transmits artificial noise (AN) to simultaneously charge an energy-constrained transmitter and to confuse a wardens detection on the transmitters communication activity. With the probabilistic ATT protocol, the transmitter sends its information with a prior probability, i.e., $p$, conditioned on the available energy being sufficient. Our analysis shows that the probabilistic ATT protocol can achieve higher covertness than the traditional ATT protocol with $p=1$. In order to facilitate the optimal design of the WP-CC system, we also derive the wardens minimum detection error probability and characterize the effective covert rate from the transmitter to the receiver to quantify the communication covertness and quality, respectively. The derived analytical results facilitate the joint optimization of the probability $p$ and the information transmit power. We further present the optimal design of a cable-powered covert communication (CP-CC) system as a benchmark for comparison. Our simulation shows that the proposed probabilistic ATT protocol (with a varying $p$) can achieve the covertness upper bound determined by the CP-CC system, while the traditional ATT protocol (with $p=1$) cannot, which again confirms the benefits brought by the proposed probabilistic ATT in covert communications.
We analyze a wireless communication system with finite block length and finite battery energy, under quasi-static Nakagami-m fading. Wireless energy transfer is carried out in the downlink while information transfer occurs in the uplink. Transmission strategies for scenarios with/without energy accumulation between transmission rounds are characterized in terms of error probability and energy consumption. A power control protocol for the energy accumulation scenario is proposed and results show the enormous impact on improving the system performance, in terms of error probability and energy consumption. The numerical results corroborate the existence and uniqueness of an optimum target error probability, while showing that a relatively small battery could be a limiting factor for some setups, specially when using the energy accumulation strategy.
In this paper, we introduce a backscatter assisted wirelessly powered mobile edge computing (MEC) network, where each edge user (EU) can offload task bits to the MEC server via hybrid harvest-then-transmit (HTT) and backscatter communications. In particular, considering a practical non-linear energy harvesting (EH) model and a partial offloading scheme at each EU, we propose a scheme to maximize the weighted sum computation bits of all the EUs by jointly optimizing the backscatter reflection coefficient and time, active transmission power and time, local computing frequency and execution time of each EU. By introducing a series of auxiliary variables and using the properties of the non-linear EH model, we transform the original non-convex problem into a convex one and derive closedform expressions for parts of the optimal solutions. Simulation results demonstrate the advantage of the proposed scheme over benchmark schemes in terms of weighted sum computation bits.
