In this paper, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is considered in the context of multi-group multicast beamforming. A base station transmits more than one multicast streams to the groups of users where each group targets its own information signal. Users have single antenna and the received radio frequency (RF) signals are split into two for both information decoding and energy harvesting through a power splitter device. The aim is to maximize the minimum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) among all the users while satisfying the harvesting power demands and the maximum transmission power constraint at the base station. The max-min fair beamforming problem is not convex. Hence the problem is first reformulated in terms of new variables in an exact manner and successive convex approximation (SCA) is applied after some transformations. Two iterative algorithms are proposed the first of which relies on a previous convex approximation technique applied on the reformulated problem. The second algorithm introduces a new reformulation where less number of convex approximations are required. Simulation results show that this new approach is very effective and results better performance in comparison.

DISTRIBUTED BEAMFORMING IN RELAY NETWORKS FOR ENERGY HARVESTING MULTI-GROUP MULTICAST SYSTEMS Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2016-03-25) In this paper, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is considered for multi-group multicasting relay networks where there is no direct link between the source and destination nodes. Each source transmits its own multicast stream to a group of users with the help of single antenna relays which use amplify-and-forward relay protocol. Each user has energy harvesting capability. A part of the received signal is used for information decoding while the rest is used for energy harvesting. T...
Optimal resource allocation algorithms for efficient operation of wireless networks Özel, Ömür; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this thesis, we analyze allocation of two separate resources in wireless networks: transmit power and buffer space. Controlled allocation of power can provide good performance for both users and the network. Although centralized mechanisms are possible, distributed power control algorithms are preferable for efficient operation of the network. Viewing distributed power allocation as the collection of rational decisions of each user, we make game theoretic problem formulations, devise distributed algorith...
MULTI-GROUP MULTICAST BEAMFORMING FOR SIMULTANEOUS WIRELESS INFORMATION AND POWER TRANSFER Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2015-09-04) In this paper, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) concept is introduced for multi group multicast beamforming. Each user has a single antenna and a power splitter which divides the radio frequency (RF) signal into two for both information decoding and energy harvesting. The aim is to minimize the total transmission power at the base station while satisfying both signal-to-interference-plus- noise-ratio (SINR) and harvested power constraints at each user. Unlike unicast and certain ...
Discrete Relay Beamforming for Broadcasting with Relay Selection Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2015-05-19) In this paper, broadcast beamforming problem is considered in relay-assisted wireless networks. Two-phase relay communication is adopted. In the first phase, a source transmits common information to multiple relays which use amplify-and-forward relay protocol. Each relay multiplies its received signal by a complex weight and transmits it to the receivers. The amplitudes and phases of complex relay weights are chosen from discrete sets in order to decrease overhead for the feedback channel. Relay selection i...
Optimized Asymmetric Cooperation for Downlink Cloud Radio Access Network under per-Base Station Data Transfer Constraint Kadan, Fehmi Emre; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2017-01-01) Using multicell cooperation between several base stations (BSs) connected to a central processor (CP) via finite capacity digital backhaul links, the inter-cell interference, which is known to limit the standard cellular systems, can be mitigated. When all user data is sent to each BS through the CP, which is referred as the full cooperation, the interference can be perfectly eliminated, however, this may cause the capacity of backhaul links to be exceeded. In this study, it is aimed to find the optimal asy...
