This paper investigates multi-antenna beamforming and time allocation to maximize the network energy-efficiency (EE) in a wireless powered communication network (WPCN). Since the EE optimization problem has an inherent fractional form, it is difficult to obtain the optimal value directly due to the lack of convexity in the objective function. To overcome this challenge, we first convert the original problem into a more tractable one by the fractional programming. Then, two schemes are proposed to find the optimal value. In the first scheme, the iterative value is updated according to the EE based on energy beamforming and time allocation derived in the current iteration. In the second one, the optimal value is obtained by consecutively shrinking the region in which it is located. Simulation results show that the proposed two schemes can improve the network EE significantly compared with the algorithm that only pursues high throughput. In addition, it is shown that the two schemes have simlilar performance in the network EE. However, the computation complexity of the first one is lower than that of the second one.
