Energy harvesting communications with hybrid energy storage and processing cost

We consider data transmission with an energy harvesting transmitter with non-negligible processing circuitry power and a hybrid energy storage unit composed of an ideal super-capacitor (SC) and an inefficient battery. The SC has finite space for energy storage while the battery has unlimited space. The transmitter stores the harvested energy either in the SC or in the battery and the energy is drained from the SC and the battery simultaneously. In this setting, we address the offline throughput maximization problem over a point-to-point channel. We show that the solution is obtained by a sequential application of the directional glue-pouring algorithm.
