Optimization for Wireless Powered Communication Networks

This SpringerBrief introduces the basics of wireless powered communicationnetworks (WPCNs). In particular, the background and concept of WPCNs are briefly discussed. Moreover, this briefprovides an extensive study of the recent developments in this area froman optimization perspective. Wireless poweredcommunication network (WPCN) is a new network paradigm for IoT, where wireless devices (WDs) are powered by radio frequency (RF) based wireless power transfer(WPT) to eliminate the need for recharging or replacing the batteriesmanually and to prolong their lifetime.In this context, the brief also discusses someoptimization problems for state-of-the-art scenarios of wireless poweredcommunication networks. The target audiences for this SpringerBrief are researchers, engineers, andundergraduate and graduate-level students, who are studying or working inwireless powered communication networks and itsperformance optimization.
