Abstract
Machine type communication connecting machines in the Internet of Things (IoT) brings massive traffic and rapidly increases the demand for radio spectrum in wireless networks. To transmit the traffic in limited spectra, a time division multiple access (TDMA) based interface with a reservation scheme, which is spectrum-efficient, energy-efficient, and deployment-economical, was proposed in cognitive radio based machine type communication. Since radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting is a way to charge stand-alone or low-power machines in IoT and full-duplex communication potentially doubles spectral efficiency, this paper proposes a multiple access control that incorporates RF energy harvesting and full-duplex communication into the TDMA based interface with a reservation scheme. The proposed multiple access control elaborately uses the full-duplex functionality with a mechanism of detecting primary users to appropriately turn on/off RF charging such that the trade-off between the interference of primary users and RF charging is balanced. Extensive simulation results show that the proposed multiple access control produces high system throughput while the interference of primary users is kept at a low level.
