Multicast Beamforming for SWIPT in MISO Full-Duplex Systems

Abstract

This paper considers the multicast transmit beamforming and receive power splitting problem for sum transmit power minimization for a simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system subject to signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), and energy harvesting constraints at the receiver. In particular, we consider the case of perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the base station. Using semidefinite relaxation (SDR) technique, we obtain solution to the problem with imperfect channel state information of the self-interfering channels.

Keywords: Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer, channel state information, Energy harvesting, semidefinite relaxation.
