In this paper, a time switching (TS) protocol for the wireless powered communications system with per-antenna power constraints is considered. To eliminate the multi-user interference, we adopt the zero-forcing beamforming scheme to maximize the sum rate performance. A two-step algorithm is proposed to solve the sum rate maximization problem with per-antenna power constraints. More specifically, golden section search method is used to find optimal time switching factor in the first step. For each given TS factor, the sub-problem in the second step is convex, which can be efficiently solved by standard software package. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods, and some interesting results are also observed.

Keywords: Energy harvesting, time switching protocol, zero-forcing beamforming, per-antenna power constraints.
