Abstract: Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is anticipated to have abundant applications in future machine or sensor based wireless networks by providing wireless data and energy access at the same time. In this paper, we study a multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO) broadcast SWIPT system, where a multi-antenna access point (AP) sends information and energy simultaneously via spatial multiplexing to multiple single-antenna receivers each of which implements information decoding (ID) or energy harvesting (EH). Since EH receivers in practice operate with considerably higher received power than ID receivers, we propose a receiver location based transmission scheduling, where receivers that are close to the AP are scheduled for EH while those more distant from the AP for ID. We aim to maximize the weighted sum-power transferred to all EH receivers subject to a given set of minimum signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) constraints at different ID receivers. In particular, we consider two types of ID receivers (referred to as Type I and Type II, respectively) without or with the capability of cancelling the interference from (a priori known) energy signals. For each type of ID receivers, we formulate the joint information and energy transmit beamforming design as a non-convex quadratically constrained quadratic program (QCQP). First, we obtain the globally optimal solutions for our formulated QCQPs by applying an optimization technique so-called semidefinite relaxation (SDR). It is shown via SDR that no dedicated energy beam is needed for Type I ID receivers to achieve the optimal solution; while for Type II ID receivers, employing no more than one energy beam is optimal. Next, we establish a new form of the celebrated uplink-downlink duality to develop alternative algorithms to obtain the same optimal solutions as SDR.
