Abstract

This letter studies an OFDM based intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)‐aided multiuser simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system. With subcarrier allocation, users use the assigned subcarriers for information decoding (ID), and use signals received on subcarriers allocated to other users for energy harvesting (EH). An optimization problem is formulated to maximize the system energy efficiency by jointly optimizing subcarrier and power allocation and IRS reflection coefficients matrix. It can be solved by an alternating optimization algorithm. Simulation results reveal that energy efficiency can be enhanced in our proposed scheme compared with the benchmark schemes.
