| Summary: | We introduce a tractable approach for studying the feasibility of multiple-antenna cellular networks, where lowenergy devices decode information data and harvest power simultaneously. Tools from stochastic geometry are used to quantify the information rate vs. harvested power tradeoff. Our study unveils that large-scale antenna arrays and ultra-dense deployments of base stations are both necessary to harvest, with high reliability, an amount of power of the order of a milliwatt. |
