Energy-Efficient D2D Underlaid MIMO Cellular Networks with Energy Harvesting

This paper considers the precoder design for energy-efficient data transmissions in energy harvesting (EH)-aided device-to-device (D2D) communications underlaid multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cellular networks. We aim to maximize the energy efficiency (EE) of the network, defined as the ratio of the system sum rate to the system power consumption, under EH and transmit power constraints for both cellular and D2D users. The considered...
