In the Internet of Everything (IoE) scenarios, the extensive deployment of devices may result in more stringent power and communication needs. Within this context, we utilize the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) to support the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system, whereby the stable transmission of energy and information services can be guaranteed. Specifically, we construct the system model through electromagnetics (EMs), which is based on the scattering-parameter (S-parameter) analysis, for revealing the crucial factors of the practical hardware. Relying on the model, the energy-efficient (EE) maximization problem constrained to the Quality of Services (QoS) is proposed for the users with the framework of co-located receiver (Rx). However, the problem is more intractable due to the introduced channel model. To resolve it, we propose an effective optimization scheme. First, the Neuman series approximation method is adopted to deconstruct the EM transfer model. Then the reformed problem, which includes the variables (i.e., the power splitting ratio, the active beamformer, and the reflection-coefficient matrix), can be addressed through the strategy of alternative optimization (AO). Further, the inner convex approximation (INCA) scheme and Dinkelbach’s algorithm are applied to tackle each subproblem. In the numerical simulation, we demonstrate that the array configuration can influence not only the hardware properties of RIS but also the EE performance of the whole system. What is more, the proposed scheme performs better for the tightly coupled RIS owing to the awareness of the mutual-coupling (MC) effect.
