    Abstract

    We consider a machine-type communication (MTC) node that is served by a hybrid access point (HAP) which provides RF power transfer to the node and receives data transmission from the node. Due to the lossy wireless medium and limited efficiency of RF energy transducer, the energy cost at the HAP is substantial. To minimize the energy cost while still satisfying the system requirement, the harvested energy at the MTC node must be used efficiently. To this end, we consider that the MTC node employs data compression in order to reduce the energy cost of data transmission. Data compression itself consumes time and energy, which needs to be carefully controlled. Thus, we propose to jointly optimize the harvesting-time, compression and transmission design, to minimize the energy cost of the system under given delay constraint. The proposed scheme achieves up to 19% performance gain, under given system constraints, as compared to optimizing harvesting-time ratio and transmission rate without employing compression.
