This study introduces the DaTA scheme for minimizing energy in wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs). It enables energy sharing among wireless stations to reduce overall network consumption while meeting signal-to-noise ratio constraints.
Area of Science:
- Wireless Communication Networks
- Energy Efficiency
- Signal Processing
Background:
- Wireless Powered Communication Networks (WPCNs) face challenges in energy consumption.
- Efficient energy management is crucial for sustainable WPCN operation.
- Existing schemes may not fully optimize energy sharing and consumption.
Purpose of the Study:
- To minimize energy consumption in WPCNs.
- To propose a novel time allocation scheme for energy efficiency.
- To ensure reliable data reception under Signal-to-Noise (SNR) constraints.
Main Methods:
- Developed the DaTA (Different Target Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer) time allocation scheme.
- Introduced a new frame structure for WPCNs.
- Formulated energy minimization as a nonlinear programming problem.
- Employed Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) for optimal solutions and a heuristic method for near-optimal solutions.
Main Results:
- The proposed DaTA scheme effectively minimizes energy consumption in WPCNs.
- Simulation results demonstrate superior performance compared to related works.
- The scheme achieves significant improvements in energy efficiency.
Conclusions:
- The DaTA scheme offers an effective solution for energy consumption minimization in WPCNs.
- Energy sharing post-transmission enhances overall network efficiency.
- The approach successfully balances energy efficiency with SNR constraints.

The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
The load connected draws the current, and the circuit delivers the power to the load. The alternating current flowing through the load is determined using the rectangular form of voltages, currents, network impedance, and load impedance. The average power delivered to the load is obtained from the product of the square of current and load resistance.
