Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an adaptive mode switching method for simultaneous wireless power/information transmission operating in a dual mode and an apparatus for performing the same. The adaptive mode switching apparatus for simultaneous wireless power/information transmission operating in a dual mode includes: an energy harvesting unit; a single tone information receiving unit; a multi-tone information receiving unit; a time-division switch; and an adaptive mode switching control unit which determines a communication mode and a modulation index based on a battery status, the magnitude of the received signal, and a data transmission rate and controls the time-division switch in accordance with the selected communication mode and modulation index. It is possible to overcome a limited energy transmission area of simultaneous wireless power/information transmission (SWIPT) using a single tone in a low power IoT environment and a low transmission rate of a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR)-based SWIPT using a multi-tone.
