Coexistence and interference management issues for machine-to-machine (M2M) and human-to-human (H2H) communications are crucial for the Internet of Things (IoT). This article considers beamforming and power allocation for M2M/H2H coexistence networks adopting the dynamic time division duplex (TDD) spectrum sharing scheme and energy harvesting (EH). The design objective is total system power minimization with device Quality-of-Service (QoS) constraints as well as EH constraints. Since the dynamic TDD introduces new types of interference, i.e., uplink/downlink cross-interference, the considered problem is a challenging nonconvex coupled problem. We first consider a simplified problem without the EH considerations. We propose a novel low-complexity algorithm based on uplink-downlink duality (UDD) and alternating optimization (AO) to tackle this problem. Then, we propose a second-order cone programming (SOCP) relaxation-based AO low-complexity algorithm to deal with the general problem. In the simulation, we study the performance of the QoS, the number of antennas, the number of users, and the power splitting ratio. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithms have low-complexity than the classical convex optimization method.
