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
How to Understand LMMSE Transceiver Design for MIMO Systems From Quadratic Matrix Programming
In this paper, a unified linear minimum mean-square-error (LMMSE) transceiver
design framework is investigated, which is suitable for a wide range of
wireless systems. The unified design is based on an elegant and powerful
mathematical programming technology termed as quadratic matrix programming
(QMP). Based on QMP it can be observed that for different wireless systems,
there are certain common characteristics which can be exploited to design LMMSE
transceivers e.g., the quadratic forms. It is also discovered that evolving
from a point-to-point MIMO system to various advanced wireless systems such as
multi-cell coordinated systems, multi-user MIMO systems, MIMO cognitive radio
systems, amplify-and-forward MIMO relaying systems and so on, the quadratic
nature is always kept and the LMMSE transceiver designs can always be carried
out via iteratively solving a number of QMP problems. A comprehensive framework
on how to solve QMP problems is also given. The work presented in this paper is
likely to be the first shoot for the transceiver design for the future
ever-changing wireless systems.Comment: 31 pages, 4 figures, Accepted by IET Communication
