Resource allocation for multi-cell full-duplex wireless powered communication networks by Muhammad Shahid Iqbal, Yalcin Sadi, Syed Adil Abbas Kazmi, Sinem Coleri

“…We investigate the minimum length scheduling problem for a multi-cell full-duplex WPCNs to find the optimal power and schedule by considering the simultaneous transmission, maximum transmit power and energy causality constraints for the users. The optimization problem to minimize the schedule length is combinatorial, thus, difficult to find the global optimum solution. …”
