Fast Specific Absorption Rate Aware Beamforming for Downlink SWIPT via Deep Learning

This article investigates fast deep learning based transmit beamforming design for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in the multiuser multiple-input-single-output downlink, with specific absorption rate (SAR) constraints. The problem of interest is to maximize the received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio and the energy harvested for all receivers, while satisfying the transmit power and the SAR constraints. The optimal solution can be obtained via convex optimization but incurs a high complexity. To reduce the computational complexity, this article proposes a model-driven deep learning technique that only needs to predict key features of the problem with much reduced dimension but enhanced performance compared to widely used data-driven machine learning. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithms can significantly reduce the algorithm execution time, while maintaining satisfactory performance.
