Abstract—This paper presents a novel approach to optimizing resource allocation in Internet of Things (IoT) networks, focusing on enhancing energy efficiency (EE) while maintaining age of information (AoI) awareness through device-to-device (D2D) communication. Our proposed solution integrates simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) with energy harvesting (EH) techniques. Specifically, D2D users employ time switching (TS) to harvest energy from the environment, while IoT users utilize power splitting (PS) to obtain energy from base stations (BS).
