Abstract

Aiming to circumvent the severe large-scale fading and the energy scarcity dilemma in high-altitude platform (HAP) networks, this paper investigates the benefits of the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) and simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) on HAP communications. Specifically, we propose a concept of multi-layer refracting RIS-assisted receiver to achieve concurrent transmission of the information and energy, which is conducive to overcoming the severe fading effect induced by extreme long-distance HAP links and fully exploits RIS’s degrees-of-freedom (DoFs) for the SWIPT design. Based on the RIS-enhanced receiver, we then formulate a worst-case sum-rate maximization problem…
