"Charging RF-Energy Harvesting Devices in IoT Networks with Imperfect C" by Hang Yu, Kwan Wu Chin et al.
This paper considers energy delivery by a Hybrid Access Point (HAP) to one or more Radio Frequency (RF)-energy harvesting devices. Unlike prior works, it considers imperfect and causal Channel State Information (CSI), and probabilistic constraints that ensure devices receive their required amount of energy over a given planning horizon. To this end, it outlines two novel contributions. The first is a chance-constrained program, which is then solved using a Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP) coupled with a Sample Average Approximation (SAA) method. The second is a Model Predictive Control (MPC...
