Abstract:

The advance in RF energy transfer and harvesting technique over the past decade has enabled wireless energy replenishment for electronic devices, which is deemed as a promising alternative to address the energy bottleneck of conventional battery-powered devices. In this paper, by using a stochastic geometry approach, we aim to analyze the performance of an RF-powered wireless sensor in a downlink simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system with ambient RF transmitters. Specifically, we consider the point-to-point downlink SWIPT transmission from an access point to a wireless sensor in a network, where ambient RF transmitters are distributed as a Ginibre α-determinantal point process (DPP), which becomes the Poisson point process when a approaches zero. In the considered network, we focus on analyzing the performance of a sensor equipped with the power-splitting architecture. Under this architecture, we characterize the expected RF energy harvesting rate of the sensor. Moreover, we derive the upper bound of both power and transmission outage probabilities. Numerical results show that our upper bounds are accurate for different value of a.
