Recent Advances in Joint Wireless Energy and Information Transfer
In this paper, we provide an overview of the recent advances in
microwave-enabled wireless energy transfer (WET) technologies and their
applications in wireless communications. Specifically, we divide our
discussions into three parts. First, we introduce the state-of-the-art WET
technologies and the signal processing techniques to maximize the energy
transfer efficiency. Then, we discuss an interesting paradigm named
simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), where energy and
information are jointly transmitted using the same radio waveform. At last, we
review the recent progress in wireless powered communication networks (WPCN),
where wireless devices communicate using the power harvested by means of WET.
Extensions and future directions are also discussed in each of these areas.Comment: Conference submission accepted by ITW 201
Secrecy Wireless Information and Power Transfer in OFDMA Systems
In this paper, we consider simultaneous wireless information and power
transfer (SWIPT) in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)
systems with the coexistence of information receivers (IRs) and energy
receivers (ERs). The IRs are served with best-effort secrecy data and the ERs
harvest energy with minimum required harvested power. To enhance physical-layer
security and yet satisfy energy harvesting requirements, we introduce a new
frequency-domain artificial noise based approach. We study the optimal resource
allocation for the weighted sum secrecy rate maximization via transmit power
and subcarrier allocation. The considered problem is non-convex, while we
propose an efficient algorithm for solving it based on Lagrange duality method.
Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm as
compared against other heuristic schemes.Comment: To appear in Globecom 201
