Abstract
To enable the efficient use of energy, the environment where unscheduled receivers can harvest energy from the transmitted signal is considered in next-generation wireless communication systems. In this paper, we propose a scheme for allocating subchannel and power to maximize the system throughput and harvested energy simultaneously using optimization techniques. Through simulations, we verify that the proposed scheme can increase the system throughput and harvested energy harmoniously. In particular, the proposed scheme improves the harvested energy remarkably with a negligible degradation of system throughput, compared with conventional scheme, as a result, energy can be used efficiently in the system.
