Throughput Analysis and Optimization of Wireless-Powered Multiple Antenna Full-Duplex Relay Systems
We consider a full-duplex (FD) decode-and-forward system in which the
time-switching protocol is employed by the multi-antenna relay to receive
energy from the source and transmit information to the destination. The
instantaneous throughput is maximized by optimizing receive and transmit
beamformers at the relay and the time-split parameter. We study both optimum
and suboptimum schemes. The reformulated problem in the optimum scheme achieves
closed-form solutions in terms of transmit beamformer for some scenarios. In
other scenarios, the optimization problem is formulated as a semi-definite
relaxation problem and a rank-one optimum solution is always guaranteed. In the
suboptimum schemes, the beamformers are obtained using maximum ratio combining,
zero-forcing, and maximum ratio transmission. When beamformers have closed-form
solutions, the achievable instantaneous and delay-constrained throughput are
analytically characterized. Our results reveal that, beamforming increases both
the energy harvesting and loop interference suppression capabilities at the FD
relay. Moreover, simulation results demonstrate that the choice of the linear
processing scheme as well as the time-split plays a critical role in
determining the FD gains.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Communication
Multisource power splitting energy harvesting relaying network in half-duplex system over block Rayleigh fading channel: System performance analysis
Energy harvesting and information transferring simultaneously by radio frequency (RF) is considered as the novel solution for green-energy wireless communications. From that point of view, the system performance (SP) analysis of multisource power splitting (PS) energy harvesting (EH) relaying network (RN) over block Rayleigh-fading channels is presented and investigated. We investigate the system in both delay-tolerant transmission (DTT), and delay-limited transmission (DLT) modes and devices work in the half-duplex (HD) system. In this model system, the closed-form (CF) expressions for the outage probability (OP), system throughput (ST) in DLT mode and for ergodic capacity (EC) for DTT mode are analyzed and derived, respectively. Furthermore, CF expression for the symbol errors ratio (SER) is demonstrated. Then, the optimal PS factor is investigated. Finally, a Monte Carlo simulation is used for validating the analytical expressions concerning with all system parameters (SP).Web of Science81art. no. 6
Heterogeneous Power-Splitting Based Two-Way DF Relaying with Non-Linear Energy Harvesting
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
A power-splitting relaying protocol for wireless energy harvesting and information processing in NOMA systems
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) along with cooperative communications have been recognized as promising candidates for the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks and have attracted many researchers. Every networked device however has its own limited power supply. To this extent, this paper investigates a power-splitting relaying (PSR) protocol for wireless energy harvesting and information processing in the NOMA systems to prolong the lifetime of the energy-constrained relay nodes in wireless networks so as to avail the ambient radio-frequency (RF) signal as well as to simultaneously harvest the energy and process the information. Decode-and-forward relaying is employed at the relay node where the energy from the received RF signal is harvested and exploited to forward the information to the destination. Specifically, the outage probability and ergodic rate of the PSR protocol are derived to realize the impacts of energy harvesting time, energy harvesting efficiency, power splitting ratio, source data rate, and the distance between nodes. It is also shown that an increased energy harvesting efficiency results in an enhanced performance and an outperformance in terms of the energy efficiency is achieved with the employment of the NOMA when compared to the conventional orthogonal multiple access. Numerical results are provided to verify the findings
Multi-points cooperative relay in NOMA system with N-1 DF relaying nodes in HD/FD mode for N user equipments with energy harvesting
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is the key technology promised to be applied in next-generation networks in the near future. In this study, we propose a multi-points cooperative relay (MPCR) NOMA model instead of just using a relay as in previous studies. Based on the channel state information (CSI), the base station (BS) selects a closest user equipment (UE) and sends a superposed signal to this UE as a first relay node. We have assumed that there are N UEs in the network and the N-th UE, which is farthest from BS, has the poorest quality signal transmitted from the BS compared the other UEs. The N-th UE received a forwarded signal from N - 1 relaying nodes that are the UEs with better signal quality. At the i-th relaying node, it detects its own symbol by using successive interference cancellation (SIC) and will forward the superimposed signal to the next closest user, namely the (i + 1)-th UE, and include an excess power which will use for energy harvesting (EH) intention at the next UE. By these, the farthest UE in network can be significantly improved. In addition, closed-form expressions of outage probability for users over both the Rayleigh and Nakagami-m fading channels are also presented. Analysis and simulation results performed by Matlab software, which are presented accurately and clearly, show that the effectiveness of our proposed model and this model will be consistent with the multi-access wireless network in the future.Web of Science82art. no. 16
