本論文探討在再生能源的小型蜂巢式系統中，如何藉由通道及能量狀態資訊設計傳輸策略以提升系統整體的覆蓋率及傳輸量。在之前的研究成果中，設計傳輸策略以抑止小型蜂巢式系統的細胞干擾或是提升系統整體的傳輸量已經被廣泛的探討。根據既有的成果，我們想要將小型蜂巢式系統的傳輸策略設計推廣到利用再生能源的小型蜂巢式系統以增加能源效率。然而，伴隨再生能源而來的能量不確定性使得傳輸策略的設計有別於傳統的情況。在這篇論文中，我們首先根據能量狀態資訊、通道狀態資訊以及通道及能量狀態資訊分別設計了三個不同的傳輸策略。接著在這不同的三個的傳輸策略下，我們推導出各自的系統整體覆蓋率及傳輸量。最後，我們根據推倒的結果以及蒙地卡羅模擬結果找出不同傳輸策略下的最佳解。
