ToDo

Change the EH-Transfer-Function

Change the Channel Path loss

Channel Path Loss

直接搬用OneL的log-distance model：

function beta = channel_path_loss(x1, x2, y1, y2)
%Channel path-loss between device at position (x1,y1) and another device at position (x2,y2)

%% Input parameters:
% (x1,y1) -> coordinates of the first node
% (x2,y2) -> coordinates of the second node

%% Output parameters:
% beta    -> path-loss between the two nodes at (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

%% The path loss is comupted using the log-distance model
% Setting path-loss exponent and attenuation at reference distance of 1m
exponent = 2.7;         %path loss exponent
attenuation1m = 1e-3;   %average power attenuation at 1m
% Path loss computation
beta = min(attenuation1m*sqrt((x1 - x2).^2 + (y1 - y2).^2).^-exponent, 1);
end

返回一个系数beta作为路径衰落。随相对距离Distance的指数衰减（但是我没有找到论文或者表述来描述这个所谓的log-distance model）

防止在Distance=0时beta>1，所以有一个\(\min(\cdot)\)。

Channel Model

Channel

准静态信道，也是几乎所有OneL文章使用的模型^{<span class=“hint–top hint–rounded” aria-label=“O. L. A. López, S. Montejo-Sánchez, R. D. Souza, C. B. Papadias and H.

function h = RicianFadingChannel(kappa,M,x,y, choice) 
    phi = atan(y/x); % 发射角度
    Phi = -(0:1:M-1)*pi*sin(phi);
    h_los = PreventiveAdjustmentofMeanShift(exp(1i.*Phi.'), M, choice);
    hnlos = 1/sqrt(2)*(randn(M,1)+1i*randn(M,1));
    h = sqrt(kappa/(1+kappa))*h_los*exp(1i*pi/4)+sqrt(1/(1+kappa))*hnlos;
end

Preventive Adjustment of Mean Shift

同时考虑到Preventive Adjustment of Mean Shift，有：

function h = PreventiveAdjustmentofMeanShift(h, M, choice)
% M: Antennas
    switch choice
        case 'mean'
            varphi = mod((0:1:M-1),2)*pi;
            h = h.*(exp(1i*varphi)).';
        case 'variance'
            h = h;
        case 'none'
            h = h;
        otherwise
            error('not implement, only mean or variance') 
    end
end

choice可以选择：

SA

function energy = AA_SA(kappa, M, x, y, sensitivity, saturation, efficiency)
    h = RicianFadingChannel(kappa, M, x, y, 'none');
    energy = 0;
    for ii=1:1:M

值得注意的是，因为每根天线的持续时间为原始的\(1/M\)，所以其求和和平均在Energy Transfer Function \(g(\cdot)\)之外。

快衰信道体现在幅度和相位的变化，所以在信道幅度上乘一个randn(N,1)，因为假设对N个用户中任意一个用户而言信道是准静态的；对于相位则是每根天线有一个随机相位randn(M,1)

与Onel在论文中的设置不一样，由于Onel在论文中的设置是，在\(R\)为半径的圆内EH Receiver 随机分布，取其中最差的结果作为性能指标。这样随机性太大了

我的想法是以\(R\)为半径，均匀分布在圆周上，并取其中最差的结果作为衡量指标，这样结果比较稳定。结果见下节。
