Optimal Cooperative Power Allocation for Energy Harvesting Enabled Relay Networks
In this paper, we present a new power allocation scheme for a
decode-and-forward (DF) relaying-enhanced cooperative wireless system. While
both source and relay nodes may have limited traditional brown power supply or
fixed green energy storage, the hybrid source node can also draw power from the
surrounding radio frequency (RF) signals. In particular, we assume a
deterministic RF energy harvesting (EH) model under which the signals
transmitted by the relay serve as the renewable energy source for the source
node. The amount of harvested energy is known for a given transmission power of
the forwarding signal and channel condition between the source and relay nodes.
To maximize the overall throughput while meeting the constraints imposed by the
non-sustainable energy sources and the renewable energy source, an optimization
problem is formulated and solved. Based on different harvesting efficiency and
channel condition, closed form solutions are derived to obtain the optimal
source and relay power allocation jointly. It is shown that instead of
demanding high on-grid power supply or high green energy availability, the
system can achieve compatible or higher throughput by utilizing the harvested
energy
RF Energy Harvesting Enabled Power Sharing in Relay Networks
Through simultaneous energy and information transfer, radio frequency (RF)
energy harvesting (EH) reduces the energy consumption of the wireless networks.
It also provides a new approach for the wireless devices to share each other's
energy storage, without relying on the power grid or traffic offloading. In
this paper, we study RF energy harvesting enabled power balancing within the
decode-and-forward (DF) relaying-enhanced cooperative wireless system. An
optimal power allocation policy is proposed for the scenario where both source
and relay nodes can draw power from the radio frequency signals transmitted by
each other. To maximize the overall throughput while meeting the energy
constraints imposed by the RF sources, an optimization problem is formulated
and solved. Based on different harvesting efficiency and channel condition,
closed form solutions for optimal joint source and relay power allocation are
derived.Comment: An abbreviated version will be presented at IEEE online GreenComm,

The design and optimization of cooperative mobile edge
As the world is charging towards the Internet of Things (IoT) era, an enormous amount of sensors will be rapidly empowered with internet connectivity. Besides the fact that the end devices are getting more diverse, some of them are also becoming more powerful, such that they can function as standalone mobile computing units with multiple wireless network interfaces. At the network end, various facilities are also pushed to the mobile edge to foster internet connections. Distributed small scale cloud resources and green energy harvesters can be directly attached to the deployed heterogeneous base stations.
Different from the traditional wireless access networks, where the only dynamics come from the user mobility, the evolving mobile edge will be operated in the constantly changing and volatile environment. The harvested green energy will be highly dependent on the available energy sources, and the dense deployment of a variety of wireless access networks will result in intense radio resource contention. Consequently, the wireless networks are facing great challenges in terms of capacity, latency, energy/spectrum efficiency, and security. Equivalently, balancing the dynamic network resource demand and supply is essential to the smooth network operation.
Leveraging the broadcasting nature of wireless data transmission, network nodes can cooperate with each other by either allowing users to connect with multiple base stations simultaneously or offloading user workloads to neighboring base stations. Moreover, grid facilitated and radio frequency signal enabled renewable energy sharing among network nodes are introduced in this dissertation. In particular, the smart grid can transfer the green energy harvested by each individual network node from one place to another. The network node can also transmit energy from one to another using radio frequency energy transfer.
This dissertation addresses the cooperative network resource management to improve the energy efficiency of the mobile edge. First, the energy efficient cooperative data transmission scheme is designed to cooperatively allocate the radio resources of the wireless networks, including spectrum and power, to the mobile users. Then, the cooperative data transmission and wireless energy sharing scheme is designed to optimize both the energy and data transmission in the network. Finally, the cooperative data transmission and wired energy sharing scheme is designed to optimize the energy flow within the smart grid and the data transmission in the network.
As future work, how to motivate multiple parties to cooperate and how to guarantee the security of the cooperative mobile edge is discussed. On one hand, the incentive scheme for each individual network node with distributed storage and computing resources is designed to improve network performance in terms of latency. On the other hand, how to leverage network cooperation to balance the tradeoff between efficiency (energy efficiency and latency) and security (confidentiality and privacy) is expounded
