In this article, we focus on a wireless-powered body area network in which the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technique is adopted. We consider two scenarios based on whether sensor nodes (SNs) are equipped with battery. For the first time, energy consumption minimization with throughput heterogeneity (ECM-TH) problem is addressed for both scenarios. For the battery-free scenario, a low-complexity time allocation scheme is proposed. This scheme solves the ECM-TH problem based on a hybrid method of gradient descent and bisection search algorithms. Consequently, compared with the interior-point method, our scheme has a lower computational complexity for the same energy consumption performance of the network. For the battery-assisted scenario, the nonconvex ECM-TH problem is first transformed into a convex optimization problem by introducing auxiliary variables. Then, a joint time and power allocation scheme based on the Lagrange dual subgradient method is proposed to solve it. Compared with the battery-free scenario, energy consumption and outage probability are both decreased in the battery-assisted scenario. Moreover, we address a special case wherein the feasible set of the above-mentioned ECM-TH problems may be empty owing to poor channel conditions or high throughput requirements of SNs. |
