In this paper, we study simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in relay interference channels (ICs), where energy-constrained relays harvest energy from sources' radio-frequency signals and use the harvested energy to forward the information to destinations. We adopt the power splitting (PS) relay protocol and the interference alignment (IA) technique to jointly realize energy transfer and interference management. We propose two novel transmission schemes for the SWIPT in relay IC networks, namely, one-stage PS IA scheme and two-stage PS IA scheme. For both schemes, we investigate the optimal PS ratios that maximize the network sum rate. We obtain the closed-form optimal PS ratios for the two-stage PS IA scheme and develop a distributed and iterative algorithm to derive the optimal PS ratios for the one-stage PS IA scheme. We further study the optimal design of the IA precoding …
