As an ab- Emax straction of this problem, we consider a system where energy arrives at the encoder in multiples of a fixed quantity, and the physical layer is modeled accordingly as a finite discrete alphabet channel based on this fixed quantity. Further, for tractability, we Xi Yi Encoder Channel Decoder ˆ consider the case of binary energy arrivals into a unit-capacity W W battery over a noiseless binary channel. Viewing the available energy as state, this is a state-dependent channel with causal Fig. 1.
