Trade-Offs in Wireless Powered Communications

We investigate trade-offs that are created in wireless powered communication networks. To this end, we take into account throughput maximization, energy efficiency, and fairness and we present and discuss the solution of several optimization problems, considering different scenarios for the network consistence, the adopted protocol, and the energy arrival knowledge. We show that all optimization problems can be solved using convex optimization, and, thus the provided solutions can be efficiently used in practical implementations.
