Energy efficient resource allocation in timesharing multiuser systems with hybrid energy harvesting transmitter

An energy efficient resource allocation scheme in timesharing multiuser system with a hybrid energy harvesting transmitter is studied in this paper. Specially, the operation energy of system is supplied by constant energy and energy harvesting, which harvests energy from external environment. Our goal is to maximize the energy efficiency of timesharing multiuser systems by considering jointly allocation of transmission time and power control in an off-line manner. The original nonconvex objective function is transformed into convex optimization problem via the fractional programming approach. Then, we solve the convex problem by Lagrange dual decomposition method. Simulation results show that the proposed energy efficient resource allocation scheme has a better performance than the scheme which decomposes optimization problem into two parts (power allocation, time allocation) to solve iteratively.
