In order to address the energy shortage in communication networks, RF signals are exploited for transferring energy to miniature devices, which yields wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs). A full-duplex aided hybrid-base-station (H-BS) is conceived in a WPCN for simultaneously transferring energy during downlink transmissions and receiving data during uplink transmissions. UEs may deplete all the energy received from the H-BS for supporting their own uplink transmissions. In this full-duplex WPCN, A joint time allocation and UE scheduling algorithm is proposed for the sake of maximising the sum-uplink-throughput of multiple UEs by further considering UEs' actual data uploading requirements. The numerical results demonstrate that the suboptimal solution is capable of achieving almost the same performance with its optimal counterparts, while our scheme outperforms other existing peers in terms of the sum-uplink-throughput.
