In wireless sensor networks (WSN), communication interference and the energy limitation of sensor nodes seriously hamper the network performance such as throughput and network lifetime. In this paper, we focus on the Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) and Wireless Energy Transmission (WET) technology aiming to design a heuristic power control algorithm and an efficient cross-layer strategy to realize concurrency communication and improve the network throughput, channel utilization ratio and network lifetime. We realize that the challenge of this problem is that joint consideration of communication interference and energy shortage makes the problem model more complicated. To solve the problem efficiently, we adopt link scheduling strategy, time-slice scheduling scheme and energy consumption optimization protocol to construct a cross-layer optimization problem, then use an approximate linearization method to transform it into a linear problem which yields identical optimal value and solve it to obtain the optimal work strategy of wireless charging equipment (WCE). Simulation results show that adopting SIC and WCE can greatly improve communication capability and channel utilization ratio, and increase throughput by 200% to 500% while prolonging the network lifetime.

Sequences that attain the smallest possible absolute sidelobes (SPASs) of periodic autocorrelation function (PACF) play fairly important roles in synchronization of communication systems, Large scale integrated circuit testing, and so on. This letter presents an approach to construct 16-QAM sequences of even periods, based on the known quaternary sequences. A relationship between the PACFs of 16-QAM and quaternary sequences is established, by which when quaternary sequences that attain the SPASs of PACF are employed, the proposed 16-QAM sequences have good PACF.

Based on the non-standard generalized Boolean functions (GBFs) over Z4, we propose a new method to convert those functions into the 16-QAM Golay complementary sequences (CSs). The resultant 16-QAM Golay CSs have the upper bound of peak-to-mean envelope power ratio (PMEPR) as low as 2. In addition, we obtain multiple 16-QAM Golay CSs for a given quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) Golay CS.

The shift-and-add property (SAP) of a p-ary m-sequence {ak} with period N=pn-1 means that this sequence satisfies the equation {ak+η}+{ak+τ}={ak+λ} for some integers η, τ and λ. For an arbitrarily-given p-ary m-sequence {ak}, we develop an algebraic approach to determine the integer λ for the arbitrarily-given integers η and τ. And all trinomials can be given. Our calculation only depends on the reciprocal polynomial of the primitive polynomial which produces the given m-sequence {ak}, and the cyclotomic cosets mod pn-1.
