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
Applications of Repeated Games in Wireless Networks: A Survey
A repeated game is an effective tool to model interactions and conflicts for
players aiming to achieve their objectives in a long-term basis. Contrary to
static noncooperative games that model an interaction among players in only one
period, in repeated games, interactions of players repeat for multiple periods;
and thus the players become aware of other players' past behaviors and their
future benefits, and will adapt their behavior accordingly. In wireless
networks, conflicts among wireless nodes can lead to selfish behaviors,
resulting in poor network performances and detrimental individual payoffs. In
this paper, we survey the applications of repeated games in different wireless
networks. The main goal is to demonstrate the use of repeated games to
encourage wireless nodes to cooperate, thereby improving network performances
and avoiding network disruption due to selfish behaviors. Furthermore, various
problems in wireless networks and variations of repeated game models together
with the corresponding solutions are discussed in this survey. Finally, we
outline some open issues and future research directions.Comment: 32 pages, 15 figures, 5 tables, 168 reference

Interference-Assisted Wireless Energy Harvesting in Cognitive Relay Network with Multiple Primary Transceivers
We consider a spectrum sharing scenario, where a secondary network coexists
with a primary network of multiple transceivers. The secondary network consists
of an energy-constrained decode-and-forward secondary relay which assists the
communication between a secondary transmitter and a destination in the presence
of the interference from multiple primary transmitters. The secondary relay
harvests energy from the received radio-frequency signals, which include the
information signal from the secondary transmitter and the primary interference.
The harvested energy is then used to decode the secondary information and
forward it to the secondary destination. At the relay, we adopt a time
switching policy due to its simplicity that switches between the energy
harvesting and information decoding over time. Specifically, we derive a
closed-form expression for the secondary outage probability under the primary
outage constraint and the peak power constraint at both secondary transmitter
and relay. In addition, we investigate the effect of the number of primary
transceivers on the optimal energy harvesting duration that minimizes the
secondary outage probability. By utilizing the primary interference as a useful
energy source in the energy harvesting phase, the secondary network achieves a
better outage performance.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, To be presented at IEEE GLOBECOM 201
