Green Operations of SWIPT Networks: The Role of End-User Devices (2312.08232v3)
Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) devices often come with batteries of limited capacity that are not easily replaceable or rechargeable, and that constrain significantly the sensing, computing, and communication tasks that they can perform. The Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) paradigm addresses this issue by delivering power wirelessly to energy-harvesting IoT devices with the same signal used for information transfer. For their peculiarity, these networks require specific energy-efficient planning and management approaches. However, to date, it is not clear what are the most effective strategies for managing a SWIPT network for energy efficiency. In this paper, we address this issue by developing an analytical model based on stochastic geometry, accounting for the statistics of user-perceived performance and base station scheduling. We formulate an optimization problem for deriving the energy optimal configuration as a function of the main system parameters, and we propose a genetic algorithm approach to solve it. Our results enable a first-order evaluation of the most effective strategies for energy-efficient provisioning of power and communications in a SWIPT network. We show that the service capacity brought about by users brings energy-efficient dynamic network provisioning strategies that radically differ from those of networks with no wireless power transfer.
