An optimal transmission policy for energy harvesting systems with continuous curves

Energy harvesting has been developed as an effective technology for communication systems in order to extend the lifetime of these systems. In this work, we consider a single-user energy harvesting wireless communication system, in which both of the arrival data and the harvested energy curves are modeled as continuous functions. Our goal is to find an offline algorithm, which maximizes the amount of data which is transmitted to the receiver node by a given deadline. If more than one scheme exist that transmit the maximum data, we choose the one with minimum utilized energy at the transmitter node.
