omputers and communications networks transport data from multiple locations to multiple locations. Network configurations address Quality-of-Service issues (e.g., component reliability, equipment costs, data buffer sizes, bandwidth limitations, and routing protocols). Planning for and implementing network equipment, software, and security mechanisms costs hundreds of millions of dollars per yea...

In this paper, power limited relay network is considered. We take one example of the limited relay, i.e. energy harvesting (EH) relay to study the power planning problem. It is assumed that the EH process is stationary and periodical. A twoEH-relay network is considered for simplicity. Efficient power planning can maximize the sum capacity that can be achieved by the saved power of EH relays. S...
