  In this letter, we consider a large-scale multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) system where the receiver should harvest energy from the transmitter by
wireless power transfer to support its wireless information transmission. The
energy beamforming in the large-scale MIMO system is utilized to address the
challenging problem of long-distance wireless power transfer. Furthermore,
considering the limitation of the power in such a system, this letter focuses
on the maximization of the energy efficiency of information transmission (bit
per Joule) while satisfying the quality-of-service (QoS) requirement, i.e.
delay constraint, by jointly optimizing transfer duration and transmit power.
By solving the optimization problem, we derive an energy-efficient resource
allocation scheme. Numerical results validate the effectiveness of the proposed
scheme.
