The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

This paper asks whether a base station serving information users and energy users should spend antenna power on dedicated energy beams, or whether the beams already carrying data can double as energy-delivery beams. For Gaussian information signals, the answer is that dedicated energy beams are not just unnecessary but counterproductive: the optimal energy-beam matrix is zero, so all transmit power should ride on null-space information beams that also harvest energy. The exception is a deterministic sinusoidal waveform, whose energy-centric structure can make dedicated beams worthwhile when the received RF power lies in the high-efficiency part of the nonlinear harvester curve. To keep the sinusoidal case affordable, the authors split the problem into a minimum-power information beamformer and a maximum-power energy beamformer, ignoring the small information-beam contribution to energy users. This cuts computation by 91.43% and 98.54% in the two tested antenna/user configurations with negligible loss.

What carries the argument

The load-bearing construction is the null-space projection. Each information beam is constrained to the null space of all other information-user channels, and all energy beams to the null space of the entire information-user channel matrix, so intra-WIT and inter-WET interference disappear and the problem becomes a convex semidefinite program. Lemma 2 then uses the Lagrangian dual, the Cauchy interlacing theorem, and Weyl's inequality to force the energy-beam covariance D to zero. For deterministic sinusoidal waveforms, a scalar reward factor η is introduced into the objective to make D nonzero, and the low-complexity algorithm splits the design into a closed-form MRT information beamformer

What would settle it

Solve the same null-space SWIPT problem with the exact nonlinear EH function rather than its first-order Taylor approximation, or measure harvested DC power on a rectifier testbed, for M=16, K_I=K_E=2, P_max=2: if a nonzero dedicated Gaussian energy beam increases total harvested DC power by more than a small fraction of a decibel over the D=0 solution, Lemma 2's conclusion fails.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The paper's central claim is Lemma 2: under Gaussian signaling with null-space interference cancellation, the optimal dedicated energy-beam covariance is D = 0. Information beams already deposit power at energy users, and adding dedicated energy beams costs more in interference suppression and power than it returns in harvested energy; the proof runs through the dual problem, where the energy-beam covariance must be negative definite, pushing all power into rank-one information beams. For deterministic sinusoidal waveforms, the paper restores the possibility of D ≠ 0 by inserting a reward factor η into the objective, with threshold η > max_i(ξ_{E,i}^{max})/ξ_E^{max} + δ, because the first-or

Load-bearing premise

The central result assumes the first-order Taylor expansion of the nonlinear energy harvester orders designs correctly and that the optimization problem is feasible (the paper flags the latter in Remark 3); the sinusoidal-waveform exception additionally leans on a hand-set reward factor η with δ set to a large value such as 10, which is not derived from the harvester's physical response.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • With Gaussian signaling, the optimal dedicated energy-beam covariance is zero, so a SWIPT transmitter needs no separate energy beam and can load energy onto data beams.
  • Allocating power to dedicated beams instead reduces received RF energy in the reported settings (1 dB at M=8, 0.5 dB at M=16, 0.2 dB at M=32), so the no-EB design is also the better design.
  • Deterministic sinusoidal waveforms can justify dedicated EBs, but only when received RF power is in the high-efficiency region of the nonlinear EH curve.
  • The low-complexity algorithm, which omits the IB contribution to WET, cuts complexity by 91.43% (M=8, K_I=K_E=2) and 98.54% (M=16, K_I=K_E=4) with negligible performance loss.
  • The WET power budget exceeds the WIT power budget by at least 9.2 dB in the reported settings, which is why ignoring IB contributions at EUs is safe.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • The no-dedicated-EB conclusion is tied to the first-order Taylor approximation of the nonlinear harvester; a full nonlinear optimization could in principle restore dedicated Gaussian beams if higher-order terms favor lower-peak signals, so the practical boundary should be tested against the exact harvester model.
  • The same decoupling principle—design WIT first, then pour remaining power into WET—should transfer to any SWIPT setting where WET power dominates WIT by an order of magnitude, such as large-antenna massive MIMO or short-range IoT charging.
  • Because imperfect CSI leaves residual interference that scales with transmit power, a worst-case extension might reintroduce a nonzero dedicated beam as an interference-management lever; the paper only provides numerical evidence, not a robust design.
  • The reward factor η is effectively a manual dial; calibrating it against measured RF-to-DC conversion curves would turn the sinusoidal-waveform result from a conditioned existence proof into a quantitative design rule.

Referee Report

3 major / 3 minor

Summary. This paper studies a multiuser MISO SWIPT system where a HAP with M antennas serves K^I information users and K^E energy users. The authors propose null-space-based beamforming to eliminate intra-WIT and inter-WET interference, then optimize beamformers/power to maximize harvested energy subject to WIT rate constraints. For Gaussian energy/information signals, Lemma 2 shows that the optimal dedicated energy beam is zero (D=0), implying that IBs alone should serve WET. For deterministic sinusoidal energy signals, the paper introduces a reward factor η in the objective so that a dedicated EB becomes nonzero, and proposes a low-complexity algorithm that first minimizes IB power for WIT and then uses the remaining power for the EB. Numerical results report complexity reductions of 91.43% and 98.54% with negligible performance loss and illustrate a regime where deterministic sinusoidal waveforms outperform Gaussian waveforms under a nonlinear EH model.

Significance. The paper is clearly written, the SDR formulations are standard, and the complexity comparison is informative. The low-complexity decoupling idea (ignoring the IB contribution to WET, justified by the power-allocation ratios in Table III) is practical and could be useful. However, the central theoretical claims are currently established only for a first-order linearized (sum-RF-power) surrogate, not for the practical nonlinear EH model advertised in the title and abstract. The deterministic-waveform branch relies on a hand-set reward factor η. If the authors rescope the claims or supply a rigorous nonlinear treatment, the contribution would be of interest; in its present form the main conclusions are not proven.

major comments (3)
  1. [Eq. (10) and Section III opening] Eq. (10) states that sum_l f(E_l) ≈ sum_l E_l + K_E p0. This is not a first-order Taylor expansion of f in Eq. (6): for the stated parameters a=150, b=0.024, M_s=24 mW, f'(P) varies from roughly 0.09 to 0.9 over the operating range, so no expansion point yields unit slope. Thus the equivalence between P1 and P2 is not established. Moreover, Lemma 2 proves D=0 for P2.2, whose objective is the sum of received RF powers; maximizing sum E_l does not in general maximize sum f(E_l) for a sigmoidal f with saturation. The paper itself (Section III-B) admits that the first-order approximation discards the higher-order moments that characterize nonlinear EH. Consequently, the abstract's claim that dedicated EBs are unnecessary for Gaussian signaling under a practical nonlinear EH model is unsupported; evaluating f only after optimization, as done numerically, does not close this gap.
  2. [Section III-B, Lemma 3 and Remark 4] The dedicated-EB result for deterministic sinusoidal waveforms is introduced through the reward factor η in P2.4, with threshold η > max_i ξ_max_E,i / ξ_max_E + δ. Remark 4 instructs setting δ=10 "to avoid complex computations," which makes η a free parameter that forces D≠0 by construction. No derivation of η from the nonlinear EH function or from the sinusoidal waveform statistics is provided. Therefore the conclusion that deterministic sinusoidal waveforms make dedicated EBs beneficial is predetermined by the chosen η, not established by the model. A principled calibration of η, or a sensitivity analysis over η, is required before this claim can be accepted.
  3. [Remark 3] The statement that "this conclusion holds broadly ... across different scenarios and under various channel conditions" overstates Lemma 2. The proof is restricted to the null-space construction (13)-(14), the linearized RF-power objective, feasibility, and the specific SDR relaxation; it does not address arbitrary SWIPT formulations or nonlinear EH. The comparison with [19] is also not fully supported: [19] solves a different, non-null-space optimization, so the "cost of interference elimination" is not quantified here and cannot justify the general claim without additional analysis.
minor comments (3)
  1. [Eq. (7)] The notation E[|s_j^E(s_j^E)^H|]=1 should be E[|s_j^E|^2]=1.
  2. [Various] There are several typos and formatting issues: "different between" in Remark 1 should be "difference between"; the matrix dimensions in Appendix B around Eq. (53) are hard to follow (P is written with ambiguous zero-block sizes); reference [32] duplicates [8]; Table IV has "KE =K I" without superscripts.
  3. [Section III-A, feasibility] The feasibility caveat is relegated to a footnote in Remark 3. Since the null-space constraints reduce the available degrees of freedom and can make P1 infeasible for small M or high C_thre, a short feasibility discussion in the main text would improve the paper.

Circularity Check

1 steps flagged · score 7.0 of 10

The deterministic-sinusoidal 'exception' to the no-dedicated-EB conclusion is installed by the hand-set reward factor η rather than derived from the nonlinear EH model; the dedicated-EB 'prediction' is an input of the optimization, not a result.

  1. fitted input called prediction [Section III-B, after Eq. (27); Lemma 3 / problem (P2.4), Eq. (28); Remark 4]
    "To compensate for this limitation, we introduce an additional factor η to restore the waveform-induced gain inherent in the nonlinear EH model, thereby enabling a solution with D≠0. ... Moreover, since calculating δ can be cumbersome, we can simplify the process by setting δ to a sufficiently large value, e.g., δ=10, to avoid complex computations."

    The linearized objective of Eq. (10) leads to Lemma 2's D=0. The paper then multiplies the EB term by η and sets δ=10, so that Lemma 3's condition η > max_i ξ^max_{E,i}/ξ^max_E + δ is satisfied and D≠0 is guaranteed regardless of the actual channels or EH circuit. This is not a prediction from the nonlinear EH model: the paper explicitly says the first-order approximation 'cannot distinguish' waveforms, so η is introduced to force the conclusion that dedicated EBs are used for sinusoidal waveforms. The later numerical claim that deterministic sinusoidal waveforms make dedicated EBs beneficial evaluates a system whose optimization objective already contains the η-forced EB allocation, so the 'unless deterministic sinusoids ... provide sufficient gains' clause is self-fulfilling.

full rationale

The main body of the paper contains a genuine mathematical derivation: Lemma 2 proves D=0 for the null-space-constrained, first-order-Taylor-linearized problem (P2.2). I do not count that proof itself as circular. However, the paper's headline claim extends this D=0 result to a 'practical nonlinear EH model,' while its own text in Section III-B admits that the first-order Taylor expansion 'inevitably discards the higher-order terms' and that the nonlinear EH behavior is 'fundamentally characterized by such higher-order moments.' Thus, the no-EB conclusion is only established for the surrogate objective, not for problem (P1); this is a modeling gap rather than a circular step. The clearly circular component is the deterministic-sinusoidal branch: after Lemma 2 gives D=0, the paper introduces a free 'reward factor' η, states that it is needed 'thereby enabling a solution with D≠0,' and then sets δ=10 'to avoid complex computations.' The condition η > max_i ξ^max_{E,i}/ξ^max_E + δ is a sufficient condition for D≠0, so the dedicated EB is nonzero by parameter choice, not by physics. Consequently, the abstract's caveat that deterministic sinusoidal waveforms 'provide sufficient gains' and make dedicated EBs beneficial is not an emergent numerical discovery; it is an input assumption. The complexity-reduction numbers (91.43% and 98.54%) are comparisons of listed algorithm complexities and are not circular. Because the paper's central conditional result—the 'unless deterministic sinusoids' exception—reduces to a hand-set η, I assign score 7: the central claim is partially forced by construction.

Assumptions & free parameters 2 free parameters · 5 assumptions · 0 invented entities

The central no-dedicated-beam claim rests on the prior result of [19] plus a convex reformulation. The deterministic-waveform extension rests on two additional nonstandard ingredients: the first-order Taylor approximation of the nonlinear harvester and a hand-set reward factor eta with delta set to 10. Feasibility is assumed rather than checked. These are the main costs the paper pays beyond standard SWIPT modeling.

free parameters (2)
  • eta (reward factor) = Not fitted; lower bound uses delta, and delta is set to 10 as a convenient value.
    Introduced in Lemma 3 and Remark 4 to make D nonzero for deterministic sinusoidal waveforms after the first-order Taylor expansion discards nonlinear waveform-dependent gains. The threshold depends on an unknown dual variable.
  • delta = 10 (chosen by hand)
    Part of the eta threshold in Appendix C. The paper says delta can be set to a sufficiently large value, e.g., 10, to avoid complex computations. This hand-tuning directly controls whether the optimizer allocates a dedicated energy beam.
assumptions (5)
  • domain assumption The nonlinear EH objective can be replaced by its first-order Taylor expansion, f(P) approximately P + constant.
    Used to convert P1 into P2 (Eq. 10). The paper admits this discards the higher-order moments that characterize nonlinear behavior, which is why the reward factor is later introduced.
  • domain assumption The optimization problem is feasible.
    Stated in a footnote in Remark 3: all conclusions assume feasibility, and feasibility checking is omitted due to space limitations.
  • domain assumption WET power requirements exceed WIT power requirements by tens of dB, so the IB contribution at EUs can be neglected.
    Load-bearing for splitting the problem into Sub.1 and Sub.2 and for the low-complexity Algorithm 2. The authors justify it with their own Table III and citations [19], [32]-[34].
  • ad hoc to paper A scalar reward factor eta restores the waveform-induced gain lost by first-order linearization.
    This assumption is introduced specifically to allow D not equal to zero for deterministic sinusoidal waveforms. It is not derived from a physical model and is the main source of the dedicated-EB result.
  • domain assumption Quasi-static block-fading Rician channels with a ULA LoS component for the HAP.
    Standard channel model used throughout the system model in Eqs. (1)-(2) and in all simulations.

abstract

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has attracted sustained interest. We propose a null-space-based transmission scheme for multiuser SWIPT serving both energy users (EUs) and information users (IUs). Under a practical nonlinear energy-harvesting (EH) model and multiple waveform options, we revisit the role of dedicated energy beams (EBs). We show that, in general, dedicated EBs are unnecessary because information beams (IBs) with Gaussian signaling can simultaneously support wireless energy transfer (WET) and wireless information transfer (WIT), unless special energy-centric waveforms (e.g., deterministic sinusoidal waveforms) are employed and provide sufficient gains. Guided by these insights, we formulate an optimization problem for EB design to enable dedicated waveform transmission for WET, and we develop a low-complexity algorithm that reduces computation by ignoring the WET contribution of IBs during optimization. Numerical results corroborate that deterministic sinusoidal waveforms outperform Gaussian signaling when the received RF power lies in the EH high-efficiency region, making dedicated EBs beneficial. The proposed scheme achieves computational complexity reductions of 91.43\% and 98.54\% for the cases $M=8,,K^I=K^E=2$ and $M=16,,K^I=K^E=4$, respectively, with negligible performance loss, thereby validating the efficiency of the low-complexity algorithm.
