We consider a point-to-point multiple-input-single-output (MISO) system where a receiver harvests energy from a wireless power transmitter to power itself for various applications. The transmitter performs energy beamforming by using an instantaneous channel state information (CSI). The CSI is estimated at the receiver by training via a preamble, and fed back to the transmitter. The channel estimate is more accurate when longer preamble is used, but less time is left for wireless power transfer before the channel changes. To maximize the harvested energy, in this paper, we address the key challenge of balancing the time resource used for channel estimation and wireless power transfer (WPT), and also investigate the allocation of energy resource used for wireless power transfer. First, we consider the general scenario where the preamble length is allowed to vary dynamically. Taking into account the effects of imperfect CSI, the optimal preamble length is obtained online by solving a dynamic programming (DP) problem. The solution is shown to be a threshold-type policy that depends only on the channel estimate power. Next, we consider the scenario in which the preamble length is fixed. The optimal preamble length is optimized offline. Furthermore, we derive the optimal power allocation schemes for both scenarios. For the scenario of dynamic-length preamble, the power is allocated according to both the optimal preamble length and the channel estimate power; while for the scenario of fixed-length preamble, the power is allocated according to only the channel estimate power. The analysis results are validated by numerical simulations. Encouragingly, with optimal power allocation, the harvested energy by using optimized fixed-length preamble is almost the same as the harvested energy by employing dynamic-length preamble, hence allowing a low-complexity WPT system to be implemented in practice.
