Half-duplex energy harvesting relay network over different fading environment: System performance with effect of hardware impairment
In this paper, we introduce a half-duplex (HD) energy harvesting (EH) relay network over the different fading environment with the effect of hardware impairment (HI). The model system was investigated with the amplify-and-forward (AF) and the power splitting (PS) protocols. The system performance analysis in term of the outage probability (OP), achievable throughput (AT), and bit error rate (BER) were demonstrated with the closed-form expressions. In addition, the power splitting (PS) factor was investigated. We verified the analytical analysis by Monte Carlo simulation with all primary parameters. From the results, we can state that the analytical and simulation results match well with each other.Web of Science911art. no. Unsp 228
Energy harvesting over Rician fading channel: A performance analysis for half-duplex bidirectional sensor networks under hardware impairments
In this paper, a rigorous analysis of the performance of time-switching energy harvesting strategy that is applied for a half-duplex bidirectional wireless sensor network with intermediate relay over a Rician fading channel is presented to provide the exact-form expressions of the outage probability, achievable throughput and the symbol-error-rate (SER) of the system under the hardware impairment condition. Using the proposed probabilistic models for wireless channels between mobile nodes as well as for the hardware noises, we derive the outage probability of the system, and then the throughput and SER can be obtained as a result. Both exact analysis and asymptotic analysis at high signal-power-to-noise-ratio regime are provided. Monte Carlo simulation is also conducted to verify the analysis. This work confirms the effectiveness of energy harvesting applied in wireless sensor networks over a Rician fading channel, and can provide an insightful understanding about the effect of various parameters on the system performance.Web of Science186art. no. 1781
Decentralized sequential change detection using physical layer fusion
The problem of decentralized sequential detection with conditionally
independent observations is studied. The sensors form a star topology with a
central node called fusion center as the hub. The sensors make noisy
observations of a parameter that changes from an initial state to a final state
at a random time where the random change time has a geometric distribution. The
sensors amplify and forward the observations over a wireless Gaussian multiple
access channel and operate under either a power constraint or an energy
constraint. The optimal transmission strategy at each stage is shown to be the
one that maximizes a certain Ali-Silvey distance between the distributions for
the hypotheses before and after the change. Simulations demonstrate that the
proposed analog technique has lower detection delays when compared with
existing schemes. Simulations further demonstrate that the energy-constrained
formulation enables better use of the total available energy than the
power-constrained formulation in the change detection problem.Comment: 10 pages, two-column, 10 figures, revised based on feedback from
