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
Rate Maximization of Decode-and-Forward Relaying Systems with RF Energy Harvesting
We consider a three-node decode-and-forward (DF) half-duplex relaying system,
where the source first harvests RF energy from the relay, and then uses this
energy to transmit information to the destination via the relay. We assume that
the information transfer and wireless power transfer phases alternate over time
in the same frequency band, and their {\it time fraction} (TF) may change or be
fixed from one transmission epoch (fading state) to the next. For this system,
we maximize the achievable average data rate. Thereby, we propose two schemes:
(1) jointly optimal power and TF allocation, and (2) optimal power allocation
with fixed TF. Due to the small amounts of harvested power at the source, the
two schemes achieve similar information rates, but yield significant
performance gains compared to a benchmark system with fixed power and fixed TF
allocation.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
Minimizing Outage Probability by Exploiting CSI in Wireless Powered Cooperative Networks
In this work, we address the relay selection problem for the wireless powered
communication networks, where the relays harvest energy from the source radio
frequency signals. A single source-destination pair is considered without a
direct link. The connecting relay nodes are equipped with storage batteries of
infinite size. We assume that the channel state information (CSI) on the
source-relay link is available at the relay nodes. Depending on the
availability of the CSI on the relay-destination link at the relay node, we
propose different relay selection schemes and evaluate the outage probability.
The availability of the CSI at the relay node on the relay-destination link
considerably improves the performance due to additional flexibility in the
relay selection mechanism. We numerically quantify the performance for the
proposed schemes and compare the outage probability for fixed and equal number
of wireless powered forwarding relays.Comment: accepted in IEEE Globecom 201
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
Multi-source in DF cooperative networks with the PSR protocol based full-duplex energy harvesting over a Rayleigh fading channel: performance analysis
Due to the tremendous energy consumption growth with ever-increasing connected devices, alternative wireless information and power transfer techniques are important not only for theoretical research but also for saving operational costs and for a sustainable growth of wireless communications. In this paper, we investigate the multi-source in decode-and-forward cooperative networks with the power splitting protocol based full-duplex energy harvesting relaying network over a Rayleigh fading channel. In this system model, the multi-source and the destination communicate with each other by both the direct link and an intermediate helping relay. First, we investigate source selection for the best system performance. Then, the closed-form expression of the outage probability and the symbol error ratio are derived. Finally, the Monte Carlo simulation is used for validating the analytical expressions in connection with all main possible system parameters. The research results show that the analytical and simulation results matched well with each other.Web of Science68327526
