First, we study the possibility of integrating distributed energy beamforming with the data rate fairness beamforming in a cooperative communication system with multiple cooperative relays and multiple destination users communicating simultaneously. We show that the system exploits significant performance gain using such a joint energy and data rate fairness beamforming scheme. Further, we propose an enhanced version of the SWIPT scheme, the energy-efficient modulation-based non-orthogonal multiple access (M-NOMA) SWIPT scheme, and observe its system efficiency in terms of more harvested energy. Finally, we consider an energy-harvesting SWIPT scheme where the channel response is estimated using the energy-harvesting signal as pilots superimposed on the information signal. For such a scheme, we compute the optimum transmit power ratio between the pilot and information signals under varying SNR conditions and improve the accuracy of the decoding process at the reception.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19051169","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,8]],"date-time":"2019-03-08T04:58:35Z","timestamp":1552021115000},"page":"1169","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Novel SWIPT Schemes for 5G Wireless Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Akashkumar","family":"Rajaram","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Robotics, National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, 634050 Tomsk, Russia"},{"name":"Faculty of Science and Technology, New University of Lisbon, Portugal, and Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8169-7177","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rabia","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Robotics, National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, 634050 Tomsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Selvakumar","family":"Tharranetharan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Sri Lanka Technological Campus, 10500 Padukka City, Sri Lanka"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7004-2930","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dushantha Nalin K.","family":"Jayakody","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Robotics, National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, 634050 Tomsk, Russia"},{"name":"School of Engineering, Sri Lanka Technological Campus, 10500 Padukka City, Sri Lanka"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Dinis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science and Technology, New University of Lisbon, Portugal, and Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Panic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Robotics, National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, 634050 Tomsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dighriri, M., Alfoudi, A.S., Lee, G.M., and Baker, T.
