Topic: Wireless sensor nodes are characterized by limited energy sources. Although the interests in wireless connectivity is ever-increasing and the needs for Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, such as, automated remote access, monitoring, and control are well-appreciated, widespread adoption of networked wireless devices is largely constrained by their affordable deployment and maintenance costs and convenience of their long-term usage. To this end, while energy efficient protocol design is a key for long-lasting network operation, energy harvesting aware solutions are becoming widely popular as green and affordable approaches towards sustainable network operation. Since ambient energy harvesting is not reliable or suitable in many field applications, an interesting approach is charging them via wireless energy transfer. In this presentation, we will discuss limitations of radio frequency (RF) energy transfer, performance of multihop RF energy transfer, and some of the use cases of RF energy transfer combined with wireless information transfer. In particular, we will discuss the possible ways of improving RF energy transfer efficiency through passive and active distributed beamforming. Throughout the presentation, we will mutually corroborate our experimental findings and analytical intuitions in a few application scenarios.

Topic: In this talk, the tradeoff between energy efficiency and spectral efficiency in multicell heterogeneous networks is investigated. Our objective is to maximize both energy efficiency and spectral efficiency of the network, while satisfying the minimum rate requirements of the users. We define our objective function as the weighted summation of energy efficiency and spectral efficiency functions. The fractional frequency reuse (FFR) scheme is employed to suppress intercell interference. We formulate the problem as cell-center boundary selection for FFR, frequency assignment to users, and power allocation. The optimal solution of this problem requires exhaustive search over all cell-center radii, frequency assignments, and power levels. We propose a three-stage algorithm and apply it consecutively until convergence. First, we select the cell-center radius for the FFR method. Second, we assign the frequency resources to users to satisfy their rate requirements and also maximize the objective function. Third, we solve the power allocation subproblem by using the Levenberg-Marquardt method. Minimum rate requirements of users are also included in the solution by using dual decomposition techniques. Our numerical results show a Pareto-optimal solution for energy efficiency and spectral efficiency. We present energy efficiency, spectral efficiency, outage probability, and average transmit power results for different minimum rate constraints. Among other results, we show that, in a particular setting, 13% energy efficiency increase can be obtained in a multicell heterogeneous wireless network by sacrificing 7% spectral efficiency.
