Abstract

Radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting is a promising technique to collect energy from the concurrent downlink transmissions. This energy after converting it into DC power can power up such devices as cell phones, Wi-Fi networks, etc. In this paper, a model of RF energy harvesting in the cognitive femtocell is presented. Additionally, an algorithm to maximise the average throughput of the secondary system over a given slot time is given. Increased throughput allows to improve the energy harvesting in the femtocell. Moreover, the effect of varying the different parameters such as the spatial density of BSs, significantly affects the values of energy harvesting in cognitive femtocell network. The obtained results of simulation tests confirm the obtained theoretical results of energy harvesting in cognitive femtocell networks.
