Energy harvesting (EH) is a prominent method to extend the operation time of energy-limited wireless networks. By integrating EH into wireless communications, the same spectrum is able to be used by simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) without affecting the quality of service. In this paper, we propose a joint subcarrier and power allocation-based SWIPT scheme in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Specifically, the received OFDM subcarriers are partitioned into two groups. A fraction of the received subcarriers are allocated to form one group, which is used for information decoding (ID), and the remaining subcarriers form the other group, which is used for energy harvesting. Thus, no splitter is needed at the receiver. A joint subcarrier and power allocation problem is formulated to maximize the harvested energy, subject to the ID constraint. By using the dual decomposition method, an efficient algorithm is proposed to solve this joint resource allocation problem.
