However, electromagnetic radiation (EMR) incurred by WPT is largely overlooked in most of the existing literature. In this article, we first propose and study the radiation constrained fair charging problem for WPT, i.e., maximizing the minimum utility of sensors by adjusting the power of wireless chargers with no EMR intensity at any location in the field exceeding a given threshold R\n            <jats:sub>t<\/jats:sub>\n            . To address this problem, we first adopt an area discretization method to transform it from nonlinear to linear. Then, we propose four algorithms to deal with the reformulated problem, i.e., 1\/3 and 1\/4 Approximation Algorithms, Primal-Dual algorithm, and area division algorithm. In particular, the area division algorithm is not only fully distributed but also provably achieves an approximation ratio of (1 \u2212 \u03f5). Further, we conduct extensive simulations and build a field testbed to verify our theoretical findings. Our simulation results show that the approximation ratios of the proposed algorithms hold; the Primal-Dual and area division algorithms have comparable performance of the optimal results and outperform baseline algorithms obviously.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3289182","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,6]],"date-time":"2019-02-06T19:17:28Z","timestamp":1549480648000},"page":"1-33","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Radiation Constrained Fair Charging for Wireless Power Transfer"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2724-5393","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lanlan","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanjing University 8 Nanhang Jincheng College, P.R.
