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.

The high reflect beamforming gain of the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) makes it appealing not only for wireless information transmission but also for wireless power transfer. In this letter, we consider an IRS-assisted wireless powered communi cation network, where a base station (BS) transmits energy to multiple users grouped into multiple clusters in the downlink, and the clustered users transmit information to the BS in the manner of hybrid non-orthogonal multiple access and time division multiple access in the uplink. We investigate optimizing the reflect beamforming of the IRS and the time allocation among the BSs power transfer and different user clusters information transmission to maximize the throughput of the network, and we propose an efficient algorithm based on the block coordinate ascent, semidefinite relaxation, and sequential rank-one constraint relaxation techniques to solve the resultant problem. Simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and have shown the impact of user clustering setup on the throughput performance of the network.

We consider an ambient backscatter communication (AmBC) system aided by an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS). The optimization of the IRS to assist AmBC is extremely difficult when there is no prior channel knowledge, for which no design solutions are currently available. We utilize a deep reinforcement learning-based framework to jointly optimize the IRS and reader beamforming, with no knowledge of the channels or ambient signal. We show that the proposed framework can facilitate effective AmBC communication with a detection performance comparable to several benchmarks under full channel knowledge.
An intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided wireless powered mobile edge computing (WP-MEC) system is conceived, where each devices computational task can be divided into two parts for local computing and offloading to mobile edge computing (MEC) s ervers, respectively. Both time division multiple access (TDMA) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) schemes are considered for uplink (UL) offloading. Given the capability of IRSs in intelligently reconfiguring wireless channels over time, it is fundamentally unknown which multiple access scheme is superior for MEC UL offloading. To answer this question, we first investigate the impact of three different dynamic IRS beamforming (DIBF) schemes on the computation rate of both offloading schemes, based on the flexibility for the IRS in adjusting its beamforming (BF) vector in each transmission frame. Under the DIBF framework, computation rate maximization problems are formulated for both the NOMA and TDMA schemes, respectively, by jointly optimizing the IRS passive BF and the resource allocation. We rigorously prove that offloading adopting TDMA can achieve the same computation rate as that of NOMA, when all the devices share the same IRS BF vector during the UL offloading. By contrast, offloading exploiting TDMA outperforms NOMA, when the IRS BF vector can be flexibly adapted for UL offloading. Despite the non-convexity of the computation rate maximization problems for each DIBF scheme associated with highly coupled optimization variables, we conceive computationally efficient algorithms by invoking alternating optimization. Our numerical results demonstrate the significant performance gains achieved by the proposed designs over various benchmark schemes.
Multi-access edge computing (MEC) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) have been regarded as promising technologies to improve computation capability and offloading efficiency of the mobile devices in the sixth generation (6G) mobile system. Thi s paper mainly focuses on the hybrid NOMA-MEC system, where multiple users are first grouped into pairs, and users in each pair offload their tasks simultaneously by NOMA, and then a dedicated time duration is scheduled to the more delay-tolerable user for uploading the remaining data by orthogonal multiple access (OMA). For the conventional NOMA uplink transmission, successive interference cancellation (SIC) is applied to decode the superposed signals successively according to the channel state information (CSI) or the quality of service (QoS) requirement. In this work, we integrate the hybrid SIC scheme which dynamically adapts the SIC decoding order among all NOMA groups. To solve the user grouping problem, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based algorithm is proposed to obtain a close-to-optimal user grouping policy. Moreover, we optimally minimize the offloading energy consumption by obtaining the closed-form solution to the resource allocation problem. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm converges fast, and the NOMA-MEC scheme outperforms the existing orthogonal multiple access (OMA) scheme.
Bistatic backscatter communication (BackCom) allows passive tags to transmit over extended ranges, but at the cost of having carrier emitters either transmitting at high powers or being deployed very close to tags. In this paper, we examine how the p resence of an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) could benefit the bistatic BackCom system. We study the transmit power minimization problem at the carrier emitter, where its transmit beamforming vector is jointly optimized with the IRS phase shifts, whilst guaranteeing a required BackCom performance. A unique feature in this system setup is the multiple IRS reflections experienced by signals traveling from the carrier emitter to the reader, which renders the optimization problem highly nonconvex. Therefore, we propose algorithms based on the minorization-maximization and alternating optimization techniques to obtain approximate solutions for the joint design. We also propose low-complexity algorithms based on successive optimization of individual phase shifts. Our results reveal considerable transmit power savings in both single-tag and multi-tag systems, even with moderate IRS sizes, which may be translated to significant range improvements using the original transmit power or reduce the reliance of tags on carrier emitters located at close range.
