Quantum Simultaneous Information and Power Transfer: Capacity-Power Trade-offs in Discrete and Continuous Channels

This paper introduces a new framework for quantum simultaneous information and power transfer (QSIPT), enabling the joint use of quantum states for classical information and energy transfer in quantum communication systems. We propose a model in which quantum states simultaneously transmit classical information through a quantum channel and transfer energy to an energy harvesting (EH) receiver. The trade-off between communication rate and harvested energy is characterized by the capacity-power function, defined for both discrete-variable (DV) and continuous-variable (CV) quantum channels. For DV channels, we derive properties of the capacity-power function, providing analytical upper and lower bounds for the amplitude damping channel and an exact closed-form characterization for the quantum erasure channel. For CV channels, we extend the framework by introducing a generalized beam-splitter (BS) receiver with adjustable transmissivity, jointly optimized with a transmitter mean-photon-number budget, splitting the channel output between the information decoder and the EH receiver. We analyze the capacity-power and achievable-rate-power trade-off under various Gaussian encoding schemes, including coherent, squeezed, and thermal states, for both lossy bosonic and additive Gaussian noise channels. Closed-form expressions are derived for coherent-state encoding under the joint photon-number-budget and adjustable-transmissivity formulation; squeezed-state inputs are evaluated numerically. Our results show that, within the considered displaced Gaussian encoding class, coherent states achieve the best capacity-power trade-off, squeezed states do not outperform coherent-state encoding under the phase-insensitive channel and passive receiver architecture, and thermal states enable energy transfer without supporting reliable communication.

Information-Energy Capacity Region for SLIPT Systems over Lognormal Fading Channels: A Theoretical and Learning-Based Analysis

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the information-energy capacity region for simultaneous lightwave information and power transfer (SLIPT) systems over lognormal fading channels. Unlike conventional studies that primarily focus on additive white Gaussian noise channels, we study the complex impact of lognormal fading, which is prevalent in optical wireless communication systems such as underwater and atmospheric channels. By applying the Smith's framework for these channels, we demonstrate that the optimal input distribution is discrete, characterized by a finite number of mass points. We further investigate the properties of these mass points, especially at the transition points, to reveal critical insights into the rate-power trade-off inherent in SLIPT systems. Additionally, we introduce a novel cooperative information-energy capacity learning framework, leveraging generative adversarial networks, to effectively estimate and optimize the information-energy capacity region under practical constraints. Numerical results validate our theoretical findings, illustrating the significant influence of channel fading on system performance. The insights and methodologies presented in this work provide a solid foundation for the design and optimization of future SLIPT systems operating in challenging environments.

Information Energy Capacity Region for SWIPT Systems over Raylegh-Fading Channels

In this paper, we study the fundamental limits of simultaneous information and power transfer over a Rayleigh fading channel, where the channel input is constrained to peak-power constraints that vary in each channel use by taking into account high-power amplifier nonlinearities. In particular, a three-party communication system is considered, where a transmitter aims simultaneously conveying information to an information receiver and delivering energy to an energy harvesting receiver. For the special case of static PP constraints, we study the information-energy capacity region and the associated input distribution under: average-power and PP constraints at the transmitter, an HPA nonlinearity at the transmitter, and nonlinearity of the energy harvesting circuit at the energy receiver. By extending Smith \' mathematical framework, we show that the optimal input distribution under those constraints is discrete with a finite number of mass points. We show that HPA significantly reduces the information energy capacity region. In addition, we derive a closed\-form expression of the capacity achieving distribution for the low PP regime, where there is no trade-off between information and energy transfer. For the case with time-varying PP constraints, we prove that the optimal input distribution has a finite support by using Shannonś coding scheme. Specifically, we numerically study a particular scenario for the time-varying PP constraints, where the PP constraint probabilistically is either zero or equal to a non-zero constant.
