Abstract: Wireless Energy Transfer (WET) combined with Simultaneously Transmitting and Reflecting Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (STAR-RIS) technology offers a promising approach to optimize the recharging of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In this work, we propose the use of STAR-RIS in the WET context to enable efficient recharging of IoT devices, with the goal of minimizing the total system recharging time while ensuring that each IoT device meets its minimum energy requirement. The optimization is performed using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique, including the beamforming configuration of the power beacon (PB) as well as the phase and amplitude coefficients of the STAR-RIS elements. We compare two STAR-RIS operating protocols: time switching (TS) and energy splitting (ES). Simulation results indicate that it is possible to charge devices efficiently using only statistical channel state information (S-CSI), even in the absence of direct link between the PB and the IoT devices.
