Finite Horizon Throughput Maximization for a Wirelessly Powered Device over a Time Varying Channel
In this work, we consider an energy harvesting device (EHD) served by an
access point with a single antenna that is used for both wireless power
transfer (WPT) and data transfer. The objective is to maximize the expected
throughput of the EHD over a finite horizon when the channel state information
is only available causally. The EHD is energized by WPT for a certain duration,
which is subject to optimization, and then, EHD transmits its information bits
to the AP until the end of the time horizon by employing optimal dynamic power
allocation. The joint optimization problem is modeled as a dynamic programming
problem. Based on the characteristic of the problem, we prove that a time
dependent threshold type structure exists for the optimal WPT duration, and we
obtain closed form solution to the dynamic power allocation in the uplink
period.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1804.0183
Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks with RF Energy Harvesting and Transfer
Radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting and transfer techniques have recently
become alternative methods to power the next generation of wireless networks.
As this emerging technology enables proactive replenishment of wireless
devices, it is advantageous in supporting applications with quality-of-service
(QoS) requirement. This article focuses on the resource allocation issues in
wireless networks with RF energy harvesting capability, referred to as RF
energy harvesting networks (RF-EHNs). First, we present an overview of the
RF-EHNs, followed by a review of a variety of issues regarding resource
allocation. Then, we present a case study of designing in the receiver
operation policy, which is of paramount importance in the RF-EHNs. We focus on
QoS support and service differentiation, which have not been addressed by
previous literatures. Furthermore, we outline some open research directions.Comment: To appear in IEEE Networ
Real-time Optimal Resource Allocation for Embedded UAV Communication Systems
We consider device-to-device (D2D) wireless information and power transfer
systems using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a relay-assisted node. As the
energy capacity and flight time of UAVs is limited, a significant issue in
deploying UAV is to manage energy consumption in real-time application, which
is proportional to the UAV transmit power. To tackle this important issue, we
develop a real-time resource allocation algorithm for maximizing the energy
efficiency by jointly optimizing the energy-harvesting time and power control
for the considered (D2D) communication embedded with UAV. We demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed algorithms as running time for solving them can
be conducted in milliseconds.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, 1 table. This paper is accepted for publication
