Performance analysis of SWIPT relay networks with noncoherent modulation

In this paper, we investigate the performance of noncoherent modulation in simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) relay networks. Noncoherent modulation schemes eliminate the need for instantaneous channel state information (CSI) estimation, and therefore, minimise the overall energy consumption of the network. In particular, we adopt a moments-based approach to develop a comprehensive novel analytical framework for the analysis of the outage probability, achievable throughput, and average symbol error rate (ASER) of a dual-hop SWIPT relay system considering the time switching (TS) and power splitting (PS) receiver architectures. In addition, through the derivation of new asymptotic analytical results for the outage probability and ASER, we analytically demonstrate that the diversity order of the considered system is non-integer less than 1 in the high SNR regime. Our results show that there is a unique value for the PS ratio that minimises the outage probability of the system, while this is not the case for the TS protocol. We also demonstrate that, in terms of system throughput, the TS relaying scheme is superior to the PS relaying scheme at lower SNR values. An extensive Monte Carlo simulation study is presented to corroborate the proposed analytical model

Analysis of Selective-Decode and Forward Relaying Protocol over κ-µ Fading Channel Distribution, Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2020, nr 1

In this work, the performance of selective-decode and forward (S-DF) relay systems over κ-µ fading channel conditions is examined in terms of probability density function (PDF), system model and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the κ-µ distributed envelope, signal-to-noise ratio and the techniques used to generate samples that rely on κ-µ distribution. Specifically, we consider a case where the sourceto-relay, relay-to-destination and source-to-destination link is subject to independent and identically distributed κ-µ fading. From the simulation results, the enhancement in the symbol error rate (SER) with a stronger line of sight (LOS) component is observed. This shows that S-DF relaying systems may perform well even in non-fading or LOS conditions. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted for various fading parameter values and the outcomes turn out to be a close match for theoretical results, which validates the derivations mad
