Abstract

Backscatter communications (BC) have recently emerged as a promising technology for sixth-generation (6G) networks with device-to-device (D2D) communications to support energy-efficient Internet of Things communications. This paper investigates the power allocation problem for energy-efficient 6G networks with backscatter-enabled D2D (BC-D2D) communications. To this end, we formulate the power allocation problem as a biobjective optimization problem that jointly maximizes the sum data rate and minimizes the power consumption of the networks, subject to energy-harvesting, reflection coefficient (RC) and power constraints. To solve this problem, suboptimal RCs are first analytically obtained based on the energy-harvesting constraints of the BC-D2D transmitters. Next, the biobjective optimization problem is transformed into a convex, single-objective power allocation optimization problem using the weighted sum approach, which is then solved using convex optimization. Results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the baseline schemes in energy efficiency under scenarios with different numbers of cellular user equipment and BC-D2D pairs.
