  4. Abstract:
  5. In this paper, we propose efficient wireless power transfer (WPT) policies for various practical scenarios in wirelessly powered communication networks (WPCNs). First, we consider WPT from an energy access point (E-AP) to multiple energy receivers (E-Rs). We formulate the problem of maximizing the total average received power of the E-Rs subject to power constraints of the E-AP, which is a non-convex stochastic optimization problem. Using eigenvalue decomposition techniques, we derive a closed-form expression for the optimal policy, which requires the distribution of the channel state information (CSI) in the network. We then propose a near-optimal policy that does not require this knowledge and prove that its optimality gap can be decreased at the cost of increment in its convergence time. Next, we consider fairness among the E-Rs and propose a quality of service (QoS) aware fair policy that provides fairness and guarantees the required QoS of each E-R. Finally, we study a WPCN where the E-Rs utilize their received energy to transmit information to the E-AP. We maximize a generic fair network utility under the E-Rs' QoS constraints and the E-AP's power constraints. Numerical results show a significant improvement of $O(log {N})$ in the total throughput compared to the state-of-the-art baselines. © 1972-2012 IEEE
