An Efficient Beam-Sharing Algorithm for RIS-aided Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer Applications
Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is a key technology for enabling future high-tech lifestyles by guaranteeing the perpetual operation of trillions of low-power IoT devices. Currently, reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is a promising technology for achieving cost- effective and energy-efficient wireless technologies. In this paper, we propose an efficient beam-sharing algorithm for RIS-aided SWIPT systems. The proposed algorithm maximizes the power transferred from the power transmitter (Ptx) to the power user (PU) while minimizing that to the data user (DU) but maximizing the signal from the data transmitter (Dtx) to DU. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed beam-sharing algorithm effectively delivers power from Ptx to PU while limiting the power sent by Ptx to DU but maximizing the received signal from Dtx.

Abstract
Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is a key technology for enabling future high-tech lifestyles by guaranteeing the perpetual operation of trillions of low-power IoT devices. Currently, reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is a promising technology for achieving cost- effective and energy-efficient wireless technologies. In this paper, we propose an efficient beam-sharing algorithm for RIS-aided SWIPT systems. The proposed algorithm maximizes the power transferred from the power transmitter (Ptx) to the power user (PU) while minimizing that to the data user (DU) but maximizing the signal from the data transmitter (Dtx) to DU. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed beam-sharing algorithm effectively delivers power from Ptx to PU while limiting the power sent by Ptx to DU but maximizing the received signal from Dtx.
