This paper presents an overview of the RF-EHNs including system architecture, RF energy harvesting techniques, and existing applications, and explores various key design issues according to the network types, i.e., single-hop networks, multiantenna networks, relay networks, and cognitive radio networks.Abstract:
Radio frequency (RF) energy transfer and harvesting techniques have recently become alternative methods to power the next-generation wireless networks As this emerging technology enables proactive energy replenishment of wireless devices, it is advantageous in supporting applications with quality-of-service requirements In this paper, we present a comprehensive literature review on the research progresses in wireless networks with RF energy harvesting capability, which is referred to as RF energy harvesting networks (RF-EHNs) First, we present an overview of the RF-EHNs including system architecture, RF energy harvesting techniques, and existing applications Then, we present the background in circuit design as well as the state-of-the-art circuitry implementations and review the communication protocols specially designed for RF-EHNs We also explore various key design issues in the development of RF-EHNs according to the network types, ie, single-hop networks, multiantenna networks, relay networks, and cognitive radio networks Finally, we envision some open research directionsread more

Wireless Information and Power Transfer to Maximize Information Throughput in WBAN
TL;DR: A simultaneous wireless information and power transfer system with a helping relay in wireless body area network, where the relay harvests energy from the radio-frequency signals sent by other nodes, then the relay uses the harvested energy to help transmit energy to the destination and forward information to the source.

Simultaneous Wireless Transfer of Power and Information in a Decode-and-Forward Two-Way Relaying Network
TL;DR: The results from analysis and simulation show that the proposed schemes outperform the benchmark scheme with equal resource allocation and that the gain gets more prominent as the rates of the data exchanged or the relay locations become more asymmetric.

Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer in Cooperative Relay Networks With Rateless Codes
TL;DR: Three relaying protocols for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in cooperative relay networks are presented and it is shown that, with the same SWIPT receiver, the IA-based system outperforms the EA- based system, whereas with the the same information receiving strategy, the PS protocol outper performs the TS protocol.

Distributed and Optimal Resource Allocation for Power Beacon-Assisted Wireless-Powered Communications
TL;DR: This paper forms an auction game and proposes an auction based distributed algorithm by considering the PB as the auctioneer and the APs as the bidders and solves the social welfare maximization problem to maximize the weighted sum-throughput of all AP-source pairs.

Network information flow
TL;DR: This work reveals that it is in general not optimal to regard the information to be multicast as a "fluid" which can simply be routed or replicated, and by employing coding at the nodes, which the work refers to as network coding, bandwidth can in general be saved.
