Outage Analysis of Energy Harvested Relay-Aided Device-to-Device Communications in Nakagami Channel

In this paper, we obtain a low-complexity closed-form formula for the outage probability of the energy-harvested decode-and-forward (DF) relay-aided underlay Device-to-device (D2D) communications in Nakagami fading channel. By proposing a new idea which finds the power splitting factor in simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) energy-harvesting system such that the transmit power of the relay node in the second time slot is fixed in a pre-defined value, the obtained closed-form expression is valid for both energy-harvested and non-energy-harvested scenarios. This formula is based on n-point generalized Gauss-Laguerre and m-point Gauss-Legendre solutions. It is shown that n is more effective than m for reducing the formula complexity. In addition to a good agreement between the simulation results and numerical analysis based on normalized mean square error (NMSE), it is indicated that (n, m)=(1, 4) and (n, m)=(1, 2) are the appropriate choices, respectively for 0.5≤ µ <0.7 and µ ≥0.7, where µ is the fading factor. As shown in this investigation, increasing the average distance between D2D pairs and cellular user (lower interference), is the reason for decreasing the outage probability. Furthermore, it is clear that increasing the Nakagami fading factor is the reason for decreasing the outage probability

Outage Performance of Generalized Cooperative NOMA Systems with SWIPT in Nakagami-m Fading

This paper investigates cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with simultaneous wireless informationand power transfer (SWIPT) radio networks. A decode-andforward relay deserves a base station to transmit informationto two users. Two access schemes are addressed: direct andrelay assisted transmission (DRAT) where a line-of-sight existsbetween the source and destination, and non-direct and relayassisted transmission (nDRAT) where the only access to the finalusers is through the relay. New closed-form expressions of outageprobability are derived at these schemes. A generalization usingNakagami-m fading channels in considered, in order to present acomplete cover of relayed NOMA systems with energy harvestingbehavior in small scale fading.We consider the impact of time splitting fraction, power allocation and channel parameters on system maintainability andevaluate its maximum data rate transmission with full autonomy.By comparing the two schemes, cooperative NOMA with energyharvesting (EH) in nDRAT scenario outperforms transmissionwith direct link in terms of outage probability and transmissiondata rate

Outage probability analysis for hybrid TSR-PSR based SWIPT systems over log-normal fading channels

Employing simultaneous information and power transfer (SWIPT) technology in cooperative relaying networks has drawn considerable attention from the research community. We can find several studies that focus on Rayleigh and Nakagami-m fading channels, which are used to model outdoor scenarios. Differing itself from several existing studies, this study is conducted in the context of indoor scenario modelled by log-normal fading channels. Specifically, we investigate a so-called hybrid time switching relaying (TSR)-power splitting relaying (PSR) protocol in an energy-constrained cooperative amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying network. We evaluate the system performance with outage probability (OP) by analytically expressing and simulating it with Monte Carlo method. The impact of power-splitting (PS), time-switching (TS) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) on the OP was as well investigated. Subsequently, the system performance of TSR, PSR and hybrid TSR-PSR schemes were compared. The simulation results are relatively accurate because they align well with the theory

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

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
