Abstract:

This letter studies the joint active and passive beamforming in intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-enhanced wireless powered mobile edge computing (MEC) networks, in which a hybrid access point (HAP) is deployed to charge multiple wireless devices (WDs) and assist in computation of the offloaded tasks from the WDs. An IRS is deployed to enhance the downlink wireless power transfer (WPT) and the uplink tasks offloading (TO). To maximize the systems’ sum computation rate, an optimization problem is formulated by jointly optimizing the time assignment of WPT and TO, the active beamforming at the HAP, the transmit power and computing frequency of the WDs, and the passive beamforming at the IRS. To tackle the non-convex problem, we present an efficient algorithm by utilizing the alternating optimization (AO) and semidefinite relaxation (SDR) techniques. Simulation results show that by deploying IRS in the system, a significant computation rate gain can be achieved. Especially, when the IRS is closer to the WDs or the HAP, the much higher computation rate can be reached.
