Joint hybrid beamforming and power splitting design in millimeter-wave simultaneous wireless information and power transfer system

A joint hybrid beamforming and power splitting(JHBPS) design problem for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer(SWIPT) in millimeter-wave(mmWave) system is studied.The considered scenario is a multi-antenna base station(BS) transfers information and energy simultaneously to multiple single-antenna receivers.BS adopts hybrid digital and analog beamforming architecture to reduce hardware costs.Receivers separate acquired signals with power splitters either for information decoding(ID) or energy harvesting(EH).The aim is minimizing total transmission power by joint design of hybrid beamforming and PS under ID and EH requirements.It is difficult to obtain the optimal hybrid beamformer directly since the analog beamformer and digital beamformer are multiplied.Therefore,a two-stage algorithm is proposed to solve the problem.In the first stage,the optimal beamformer and PS ratios are obtained by solving the joint transmission beamforming and PS design problem.In the second stage,the optimal beamformer is approximated with the product of analog beamformer and digital beamformer.The superiority of proposed algorithm over the existing algorithms is demonstrated through simulations.Moreover,the effectiveness of approximation algorithm is testified.

Communication with causal CSI and controlled information outage

In this letter, a Rayleigh block-fading (BF) channel, subject to an information outage probability constraint, is considered. The transmitter is assumed to have causal knowledge of the channel state information (CSI), which is exploited to intelligently allocate the power over the blocks (and hence vary the channel mutual information) to minimize the average transmitted power per block for satisfying the outage probability constraint for a given target code-rate. We first show that the optimal solution to this problem can be obtained by solving the reverse problem of minimizing the outage probability for a range of long-term power constraints through repeated uses of dynamic programming (DP), which is nevertheless prohibitively complex. Then, we develop a suboptimal allocation algorithm which still uses DP to exploit the CSI causality but at a much reduced complexity. A performance lower-bound is further derived, which permits us to see that the proposed algorithm is near-optimal, especially in the small outage probability regime. A scheme called equal-outage-probability per block (EOPPB) which compromises the performance further for reducing the complexity is also devised. To compare the methods, we evaluate both analytically and numerically their complexities and performance. The results are finally generalized to multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) BF channels.     

Cooperative Privacy Provisioning for Energy Harvesting Based Cognitive Multi-Relay Networks

In order to provide privacy provisioning for the secondary information,we propose an energy harvesting based secure transmission scheme for the cognitive multi-relay networks.In the proposed scheme,two secondary relays harvest energy to power the secondary transmitter and assist the secondary secure transmission without interfere the secondary transmission.Specifically,the proposed secure transmission policy is implemented into two phases.In the first phase,the secondary transmitter transmits the secrecy information and jamming signal through the power split method.After harvesting energy from a fraction of received radio-frequency signals,one secondary relay adopts the amplify-and-forward relay protocol to assist the secondary secure transmission and the other secondary relay just forwards the new designed jamming signal to protect the secondary privacy information and degrade the jamming interference at the secondary receiver.For the proposed scheme,we first analyze the average secrecy rate,the secondary secrecy outage probability,and the ergodic secrecy rate,and derive their closed-form expressions.Following the above results,we optimally allocate the transmission power such that the secrecy rate is maximized under the secrecy outage probability constraint.For the optimization problem,an AI based simulated annealing algorithm is proposed to allocate the transmit power.Numerical results are presented to validate the performance analytical results and show the performance superiority of the proposed scheme in terms of the average secrecy rate.     

Opportunistic secure transmission scheme for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer

Aiming at the different requirements of energy transmission and information transmission in simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT),an opportunistic transmission scheme was proposed for enhancing physical layer security.Firstly,a SWIPT network with multi-cells was considered where multi-users,multi-eavesdroppers and the users were assumed to adopt time-switching based receivers and employ non-linear conversion model to harvest energy.The transmitter could dynamically switch between information transmission and power transfer according to the channel state,breaking the traditional fixed slot allocation scheme of energy transmission and information transmission.On this basis,the performances of energy transmission and information transmission were analyzed comprehensively,including the stability and efficiency of energy transmission,and the reliability and security of information transmission in the scenario of independent eavesdropping and joint eavesdropping.Next,a switching threshold optimization model was given to maximize its secrecy throughput under the constraint of the energy transmission,the reliability and secrecy performance requirements of information transmission.Finally,simulation results verify the validity of the proposed scheme.

Analysis of downlink power control and cooperation scheme for two‐tier heterogeneous cellular network

The traditional cellular network cannot keep pace with the dramatic growth in data traffic due to exponentially increasing number of multimedia applications and mobile subscribers. Recently, femto base stations (FBSs) are deployed with the macro base station (MBS) tier for off‐loading the data traffic and to improve the indoor coverage of the heterogeneous cellular network. However, FBS deployment also increases the cross‐tier interference of the heterogeneous cellular network resulting in outage performance degradation of MBS tier. This work develops an analytical framework to limit the cross‐tier interference of MBS tier using power control scheme (PCS). The proposed PCS works on path loss inversion and location‐based power level rule for FBS. Moreover, a cooperation scheme and an association policy with MBS (CSAPM) are introduced to improve the outage performance of the FBS tier. Tools from the stochastic geometry are used for deriving the signal to interference and noise ratio outage probability, total outage probability, and area spectral efficiency (ASE) of MBS tier and FBS tier. Additionally, ASE maximization problem is formulated to evaluate the optimal density of FBSs. The effectiveness of the proposed PCS and CSAPM on outage performance and ASE are numerically demonstrated. It is noted from the results that the proposed CSAPM can compensate the loss in outage performance of FBS tier due to PCS. Finally, simulation results validate the analytical results.

Energy-efficient cooperative sensing and transmission in relay-assisted cognitive radio network

An innovative EE-oriented cooperative sensing and transmission scheme in relay-assisted cognitive radio networks,called energy-efficient best-relay cooperative transmission (BCT) was proposed.Based on the BCT scheme,mean energy efficiency (MEE) maximization problem with sensing duration and transmitting power as optimization variables was modeled for fading channels under constraint of minimal secondary outage probability.By virtue of Jensen’s inequality,the original optimization problem was decomposed into two relatively independent subproblems which solved sensing duration and power allocation respectively.And for the two subproblems,an efficient cross iteration based algorithm was proposed to obtain the suboptimal solutions.Both analytical and simulation results demonstrate that the proposals can achieve significantly higher EE while enhancing reliability of secondary transmission remarkably compared to non-cooperation single cognitive transmission schemesin high QoS requirement.     

Real-time implementation of distributed beamforming for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in interference channels

In this paper, we propose one-bit feedback-based distributed beamforming (DBF) techniques for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in interference channels where the information transfer and power transfer networks coexist in the same frequency spectrum band. In a power transfer network, multiple distributed energy transmission nodes transmit their energy signals to a single energy receiving node capable of harvesting wireless radio frequency energy. Here, by considering the Internet-of-Things sensor network, the energy harvesting/information decoding receivers (ERx/IRx) can report their status (which may include the received signal strength, interference, and channel state information) through one-bit feedback channels. To maximize the amount of energy transferred to the ERx and simultaneously minimize the interference to the IRx, we developed a DBF technique based on one-bit feedback from the ERx/IRx without sharing the information among distributed transmit nodes. Finally, the proposed DBF algorithm in the interference channel is verified through the simulations and also implemented in real time by using GNU radio and universal software radio peripheral.     

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer for relay assisted energy harvesting network

The simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in an energy harvesting system is investigated, where a relay is self-sustained by harvesting radio-frequency (RF) energy from the transmitter and multiple user devices are distributed according to a homogeneous Poisson point process. A joint time switching and power splitting protocol for relay-assisted transmission is proposed, in which each time slot is split into two stages. In the first stage, the relay utilizes a portion of received RF signal power for energy harvesting and the remaining power for information processing. In the second stage, information is delivered from the relay to its closest destination node with the harvested energy. The outage probability, network throughput and energy efficiency are derived and analyzed in closed form. On this basis, the optimal power splitting and time switching ratio which maximizes network throughput is obtained. Simulation results are also provided to validate our theoretical analysis.     

Security enhancement with joint transmit antenna selection and transmit beamforming under energy harvesting constraints

This paper considers a multiuser multiple‐input single‐output (MISO) broadcasting system with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), which consists of one information receiver (IR) and several energy harvesting receivers (ERs) which are capable of eavesdropping the legitimate signals. For reducing cost and hardware complexity, transmit antenna selection (TAS) is applied in the transmitter. We aim to maximize the achievable secrecy rate under the individual energy harvesting constraint at the ERs and the transmit power constraint at the transmitter by jointly optimizing TAS, transmit beamforming, and artificial noise (AN). The joint optimization problem is a non‐convex mixed integer programming problem. We apply variable replacements to decouple the variable couplings and relax and approach the binary constraint by the difference of two convex constraints. Afterwards, penalty method and constrained concave convex procedure (CCCP) are applied to transform the relaxed problem into a sequence of semi‐definiteness programming (SDP) problems. Simulation results shows that our proposed joint optimization scheme is superior over existing non‐joint optimization schemes. This paper studies the joint transmit antenna selection (TAS), transmit beamforming, and artificial noise (AN) optimization in a multiple‐input multiple‐output (MISO) wiretap system with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). The joint optimization problem is nonconvex and we propose a penalty method based scheme to solve it. The simulation results show that our joint optimization scheme is superior to other non‐joint optimization schemes.     

Beamforming design for energy-constrained full-duplex two-way relaying system

A beamforming design was proposed under simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) protocol.A utility optimization problem was considered aiming to maximize the harvested energy by jointly optimizing the beamforming matrix,the power splitting ratio at the relay and the transmit powers at the sources.Since the formulated joint optimization problem was nonconvex,it was difficult or even intractable to obtain the global optimal solution.To overcome this issue,the objective problem into three subproblems was decoupled which could be solved by the proposed semidefinite relaxation technique and the derived constraints activation solution,respectively.The solution was finally obtained with the proposed convergent iterative algorithm.Simulation results show that the proposed joint optimization scheme achieves the optimal performance.Compared with the traditional half-duplex (HD) algorithm,the proposed algorithm can obtain 2~3 times energy harvesting (EH) efficiency improvement,while the computational complexity increases slightly.
