A low-complexity SWIPT scheme with retrodirective maximum ratio transmission (MRT) beamforming is studied in [51], where all energy receivers (ERs) send a common beacon signal simultaneously to the energy transmitter (ET) in the uplink and the ET simply conjugates and amplifies its received sum-signal and transmits to all ERs in the downlink for SWIPT.
But when a cellphone signal can't be obtained — a common situation in remote areas — the beacon comes into play.
Provide extensible MAC primitives: Most MAC protocols share a common set of singular MAC primitives (e.g. DATA, ACK, BEACON, RTS, CTS, preamble, etc).
