An Energy-Efficient MU-MIMO and IRS BackCom Symbiotic Radio Network Resource Allocation

Symbiotic radio networks (SRN) have gained traction for efficient spectrum usage in wireless communication Internet-of- Things networks (IoTNs) applications. Furthermore, the efficient use of energy resources under energy-efficient communication is rising in IoTNs to satisfy and attain the United Nations' sustainable development goals on sustainable and renewable energy usage. Hence, this work focuses on energy and spectrum efficient usage through renewable radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting (EH) backscatter (BC) communication (BackCom) and SRN between a secondary network sensor-equipped EH intelligent reflective surface BC and a primary network base station to multiple user equipment using multiple access communication. This work focuses on resource allocation optimization to maximize the system energy-efficiency quality-of-service for the SRN. The superiority of the proposed scheme over existing benchmark schemes is also presented in this work.
