Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel best cooperative mechanism (BCM) for wireless energy harvesting and spectrum sharing in 5G networks. Data transfer and energy harvesting are finished in the designed timeslot mode. In the proposed BCM, secondary users (SUs) harvest energy from both ambient signals and primary user’s (PU’s) signals. In addition, the SU’s can act as relay for PUs and harvest energy from PU signals simultaneously. The proposed mechanism allows optimal time duration for data transfer within the timeslot. We formulate an optimization problem based on the proposed BCM with an objective to maximize throughput of PUs and SUs with constraints on data rate and energy harvest save ratios. The effectiveness of the proposed cooperative mechanism is verified by simulations, and it is considered as an important stepping stone for future research in this domain.
