Abstract
We investigate the long-term scheduling and power control scheme for a wirelessly powered cell-free Internet-of-Things (IoT) network which consists of distributed access points (APs) and a large number of sensors. In each time slot, a subset of sensors is scheduled for uplink data transmission or downlink power transfer. Through asymptotic analysis, we obtain closed-form expressions for the harvested energy and the achievable rates that are independent of random pilots. Then, using these expressions, we formulate a long-term scheduling and power control problem to maximize the minimum time-average achievable rate among all sensors while maintaining the battery state of each sensor higher than a predefined minimum level. Using Lyapunov optimization, the transmission mode, the active sensor set, and the power control coefficients for each time slot are jointly determined. Finally, simulation results validate the accuracy of our derived closed-form expressions and reveal that the minimum time-average achievable rate is boosted significantly by the proposed scheme compared with the simple greedy transmission scheme.
