Abstract
In this paper, we study multi-user multi-input multi-output cognitive wireless powered communication networks (WPCN), in which a secondary WPCN shares spectrum with a primary wireless information transfer system. A typical WPCN consists of two different phases. In the first downlink phase, a hybrid access point (H-AP) transfers energy to charge users, and then in the subsequent uplink phase, the users send information by using the harvested energy to the H-AP. We consider two different cognitive WPCN protocols depending on the cooperation level between the primary transmitter and the secondary H-AP. For both cases, we formulate sum throughput maximization problems by taking the interference leakage to the primary network into consideration. The problems are generally non-convex due to coupled variables in the WPCN. To tackle this issue, we first convert the problems into equivalent convex forms, and then identify the global optimal solutions by applying the proposed iterative optimization algorithms. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms outperform conventional schemes.
