In order to improve the energy harvesting (EH) efficiency and network performance in secure SWIPT networks, this paper studies the resource allocation problem based on the quantitative EH mechanism in the secure SWIPT network. Based on a quantitative EH mechanism and nonlinear EH model, a quantified power-splitting (QPS) receiver architecture is designed. This architecture is applied in the multiuser multi-input single-output secure SWIPT network. With the goal of maximizing the network throughput, the optimization problem model is established under the conditions of meeting the legal user\u2019s signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), EH requirements, the total transmit power of the base station, and the security SINR threshold constraints. Due to the coupling of variables, the problem is a nonconvex optimization problem. To deal with the nonconvex optimization problem, a hierarchical optimization method is adopted. Firstly, an optimization algorithm based on the optimal received power of EH circuit is proposed, and a power mapping table is constructed through the optimization algorithm, from which the optimal power ratio to meet the user\u2019s EH requirements is obtained; then, the nonconvex problem is transformed into a convex problem by using variable substitution, semidefinite relaxation, dichotomous optimization, etc. The simulation results show that compared with the power splitting receiver architecture, the input power threshold range of the QPS receiver architecture is larger, which can avoid the EH circuit falling into the saturated working area and maintain high network throughput.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23115117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,27]],"date-time":"2023-05-27T20:18:43Z","timestamp":1685218723000},"page":"5117","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Resource Allocation for a Secure SWIPT Network Based on a Quantitative Energy Harvesting Mechanism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Long","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Electrical Engineering, Hebei University of Engineering, Handan 056038, China"}]},{"given":"Liang","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Electrical Engineering, Hebei University of Engineering, Handan 056038, China"}]},{"given":"Xuan","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Electrical Engineering, Hebei University of Engineering, Handan 056038, China"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-8959-2801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chunjie","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Electrical Engineering, Hebei University of Engineering, Handan 056038, China"},{"name":"Institute of Advanced Computing and Digital Engineering, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen 518055, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5350","DOI":"10.1109\/JIOT.2021.3056128","article-title":"Big data analytics for 6G-enabled massive internet of things","volume":"8","author":"Lv","year":"2021","journal-title":"IEEE Internet Things J."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Liu, J.S., Lin, C.H.R., Hu, Y.C., and Donta, P.K.
