The rapid growth of the so-called Internet of Things is expected to significantly expand and support the deployment of resource-limited devices. Therefore, intelligent scheduling protocols and technologies such as wireless power transfer, are important for the efficient implementation of these massive low-powered networks. This paper studies the performance of a wireless powered communication network, where multiple batteryless devices harvest radio-frequency from a dedicated transmitter in order to communicate with a common information receiver (IR). We investigate several novel selection schemes, corresponding to different channel state information requirements and implementation complexities. In particular, each scheme schedules the $k$-th best device based on: a) the end-to-end (e2e) signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), b) the energy harvested at the devices, c) the uplink transmission to the IR, and d) the conventional/legacy max-min selection policy. We consider a non-linear energy harvesting (EH) model and derive analytical expressions for the outage probability of each selection scheme by using tools from high order statistics. %Our results show that, the performance of all the proposed schemes converges to an error floor due to the saturation effects of the considered EH model. Moreover, an asymptotic scenario in terms of the number of devices is considered and, by applying extreme value theory, the systems performance is evaluated. We derive a complete analytical framework that provides useful insights for the design and realization of such networks.

This paper considers an intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)-aided wireless powered communication network (WPCN), where devices first harvest energy from a power station (PS) in the downlink (DL) and then transmit information using non-orthogonal mult iple access (NOMA) to a data sink in the uplink (UL). However, most existing works on WPCNs adopted the simplified linear energy-harvesting model and also cannot guarantee strict user quality-of-service requirements. To address these issues, we aim to minimize the total transmit energy consumption at the PS by jointly optimizing the resource allocation and IRS phase shifts over time, subject to the minimum throughput requirements of all devices. The formulated problem is decomposed into two subproblems, and solved iteratively in an alternative manner by employing difference of convex functions programming, successive convex approximation, and penalty-based algorithm. Numerical results demonstrate the significant performance gains achieved by the proposed algorithm over benchmark schemes and reveal the benefits of integrating IRS into WPCNs. In particular, employing different IRS phase shifts over UL and DL outperforms the case with static IRS beamforming.
This paper considers an intelligent reflecting sur-face (IRS)-aided simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) network, where multiple users decode data and harvest energy from the transmitted signal of a transmit-ter. The proposed design framework exploits the cost-effective IRS to establish favorable communication environment to improve the fair energy efficient. In particular, we study the max-min energy efficiency (EE) of the system by jointly designing the transmit information and energy beamforming at the base station (BS), phase shifts at the IRS, as well as the power splitting (PS) ratio at all users subject to the minimum rate, minimum harvested energy, and transmit power constraints. The formulated problem is non-convex and thus challenging to be solved. We propose two algorithms namely penalty-based and inner approximation (IA)-based to handle the non-convexity of the optimization problem. As such, we divide the original problem into two sub-problems and apply the alternating optimization (AO) algorithm for both proposed algorithms to handle it iteratively. In particular, in the penalty-based algorithm for the first sub-problem, the semi-definite relaxation (SDR) technique, difference of convex functions (DC) programming, majorization-minimization (MM) approach, and fractional programming theory are exploited to transform the non-convex optimization problem into a convex form that can be addressed efficiently. For the second sub-problem, a penalty-based approach is proposed to handle the optimization on the phase shifts introduced by the IRS with the proposed algorithms. For the IA-based method, we optimize jointly beamforming vectors and phase shifts while the PS ratio is solved optimally in the first sub-problem...
In this paper, a novel intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted wireless powered communication network (WPCN) architecture is proposed for low-power Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, where the IRS is exploited to improve the performance of WPCN under imperfect channel state information (CSI). We formulate a hybrid access point (HAP) transmission energy minimization problem by a joint design of time allocation, HAP energy beamforming, receiving beamforming, user transmit power allocation, IRS energy reflection coefficient and information reflection coefficient under the imperfect CSI and non-linear energy harvesting model. Due to the high coupling of optimization variables, this problem is a non-convex optimization problem, which is difficult to solve directly. In order to solve the above-mentioned challenging problems, the alternating optimization (AO) is applied to decouple the optimization variables to solve the problem. Specifically, through AO, time allocation, HAP energy beamforming, receiving beamforming, user transmit power allocation, IRS energy reflection coefficient and information reflection coefficient are divided into three sub-problems to be solved alternately. The difference-of-convex (DC) programming is applied to solve the non-convex rank-one constraint in solving the IRS energy reflection coefficient and information reflection coefficient. Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm in reducing HAP transmission energy compared to other benchmarks.
Energy harvesting is a technology for enabling green, sustainable, and autonomous wireless networks. In this paper, a large-scale wireless network with energy harvesting transmitters is considered, where a group of transmitters forms a cluster to coo peratively serve a desired receiver amid interference and noise. To characterize the link-level performance, closed-form expressions are derived for the transmission success probability at a receiver in terms of key parameters such as node densities, energy harvesting parameters, channel parameters, and cluster size, for a given cluster geometry. The analysis is further extended to characterize a network-level performance metric, capturing the tradeoff between link quality and the fraction of receivers served. Numerical simulations validate the accuracy of the analytical model. Several useful insights are provided. For example, while more cooperation helps improve the link-level performance, the network-level performance might degrade with the cluster size. Numerical results show that a small cluster size (typically 3 or smaller) optimizes the network-level performance. Furthermore, substantial performance can be extracted with a relatively small energy buffer. Moreover, the utility of having a large energy buffer increases with the energy harvesting rate as well as with the cluster size in sufficiently dense networks.
In this paper, we investigate the performance of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in a point-to-point system, adopting practical $M$-ary modulation. We take into account the fact that the receivers radio-frequency (RF) ene rgy harvesting circuit can only harvest energy when the received signal power is greater than a certain sensitivity level. For both power-splitting (PS) and time-switching (TS) schemes, we derive the energy harvesting performance as well as the information decoding performance for the Nakagami-$m$ fading channel. We also analyze the performance tradeoff between energy harvesting and information decoding by studying an optimization problem, which maximizes the information decoding performance and satisfies a constraint on the minimum harvested energy. Our analysis shows that (i) for the PS scheme, modulations with high peak-to-average power ratio achieve better energy harvesting performance, (ii) for the TS scheme, it is desirable to concentrate the power for wireless power transfer in order to minimize the non-harvested energy caused by the RF energy harvesting sensitivity level, and (iii) channel fading is beneficial for energy harvesting in both PS and TS schemes.
