The simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technique has been regarded as an appealing approach to prolong the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. However, co-channel interferences with SWIPT in wireless networks have not been investigated from a green communication perspective. In this paper, joint transmit and receive beamforming design for a full-duplex multiple-input multiple-output amplify-and-forward relay system with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in WSNs is investigated. Multiple co-channel interferers are considered at the relay and destination sensor nodes. To minimize the mean-squared-error of the system, joint source and relay beamforming optimization is proposed while guaranteeing the transmit power constraints and destination’s energy harvesting constraint. An iterative algorithm based on alternating optimization with successive convex approximation which converges to a local optimum is proposed to solve the non-convex problem. Moreover, a low-complexity scheme is derived to reduce the computational complexity. Simulations for MSE versus iterations and MSE versus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) demonstrate the convergence and good performance of the proposed schemes.
