    Heterogeneous Power-Splitting Based Two-Way DF Relaying with Non-Linear Energy Harvesting

    Full text link
    Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has been recognized as a promising approach to improving the performance of energy constrained networks. In this paper, we investigate a SWIPT based three-step two-way decode-and-forward (DF) relay network with a non-linear energy harvester equipped at the relay. As most existing works require instantaneous channel state information (CSI) while CSI is not fully utilized when designing power splitting (PS) schemes, there exists an opportunity for enhancement by exploiting CSI for PS design. To this end, we propose a novel heterogeneous PS scheme, where the PS ratios are dynamically changed according to instantaneous channel gains. In particular, we derive the closed-form expressions of the optimal PS ratios to maximize the capacity of the investigated network and analyze the outage probability with the optimal dynamic PS ratios based on the non-linear energy harvesting (EH) model. The results provide valuable insights into the effect of various system parameters, such as transmit power of the source, source transmission rate, and source to relay distance on the performance of the investigated network. The results show that our proposed PS scheme outperforms the existing schemes.Comment: This article has been accepted by IEEE GLOBECOM201

    On Achievable Rate Regions of the Asymmetric AWGN Two-Way Relay Channel

    Full text link
    This paper investigates the additive white Gaussian noise two-way relay channel, where two users exchange messages through a relay. Asymmetrical channels are considered where the users can transmit data at different rates and at different power levels. We modify and improve existing coding schemes to obtain three new achievable rate regions. Comparing four downlink-optimal coding schemes, we show that the scheme that gives the best sum-rate performance is (i) complete-decode-forward, when both users transmit at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR); (ii) functional-decode-forward with nested lattice codes, when both users transmit at high SNR; (iii) functional-decode-forward with rate splitting and time-division multiplexing, when one user transmits at low SNR and another user at medium--high SNR.Comment: to be presented at ISIT 201

    Capacity Bounds for Two-Hop Interference Networks

    Full text link
    This paper considers a two-hop interference network, where two users transmit independent messages to their respective receivers with the help of two relay nodes. The transmitters do not have direct links to the receivers; instead, two relay nodes serve as intermediaries between the transmitters and receivers. Each hop, one from the transmitters to the relays and the other from the relays to the receivers, is modeled as a Gaussian interference channel, thus the network is essentially a cascade of two interference channels. For this network, achievable symmetric rates for different parameter regimes under decode-and- forward relaying and amplify-and-forward relaying are proposed and the corresponding coding schemes are carefully studied. Numerical results are also provided.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, presented in Allerton Conference'0

    Outage Analysis for SWIPT-Enabled Two-Way Cognitive Cooperative Communications

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study a cooperative cognitive radio network (CCRN) where the secondary user-transmitter (SU-Tx) assists bi-directional communication between a pair of primary users (PUs) following the principle of two-way relaying. In return, it gets access to the spectrum of the PUs to enable its own transmission to SU-receiver (SU-Rx). Further, in order to support sustainable operation of the network, SU-Tx is assumed to harvest energy from the RF signals received from the PUs, using the technique of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). Assuming a decode-and-forward behaviour and power-splitting based relaying protocol at SU-Tx, closed form expressions for outage probability of PU and SU are obtained. Simulation results validate our analytical results and illustrate spectrum-efficiency and energy-efficiency advantages of the proposed system over one-way relaying.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures, Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technolog
