Power Switching Protocol for Two-way Relaying Network under Hardware Impairments
In this paper, we analyze the impact of hardware impairments at relay node and source node (i.e. imperfect nodes) on network performance by evaluating outage probability based on the effective signal to noise and distortion ratio (SNDR). Especially, we propose energy harvesting protocol at the relay and source nodes, namely, power switching imperfect relay (PSIR) and power switching imperfect source (PSIS). Aiming to determine the performance of energy constrained network, we first derive closed-form expressions of the outage probability and then the throughput can be maximized in delay-limited transmission mode. The simulation results provide practical insights into the impacts of hardware impairments and power switching factors of the energy harvesting protocol on the performance of energy harvesting enabled two-way relaying network
Throughput Maximization for UAV-Aided Backscatter Communication Networks
This paper investigates unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-aided backscatter communication (BackCom) networks, where the UAV is leveraged to help the backscatter device (BD) forward signals to the receiver. Based on the presence or absence of a direct link between BD and receiver, two protocols, namely transmit-backscatter (TB) protocol and transmit-backscatter-relay (TBR) protocol, are proposed to utilize the UAV to assist the BD. In particular, we formulate the system throughput maximization problems for the two protocols by jointly optimizing the time allocation, reflection coefficient and UAV trajectory. Different static/dynamic circuit power consumption models for the two protocols are analyzed. The resulting optimization problems are shown to be non-convex, which are challenging to solve. We first consider the dynamic circuit power consumption model, and decompose the original problems into three sub-problems, namely time allocation optimization with fixed UAV trajectory and reflection coefficient, reflection coefficient optimization with fixed UAV trajectory and time allocation, and UAV trajectory optimization with fixed reflection coefficient and time allocation. Then, an efficient iterative algorithm is proposed for both protocols by leveraging the block coordinate descent method and successive convex approximation (SCA) techniques. In addition, for the static circuit power consumption model, we obtain the optimal time allocation with a given reflection coefficient and UAV trajectory and the optimal reflection coefficient with low computational complexity by using the Lagrangian dual method. Simulation results show that the proposed protocols are able to achieve significant throughput gains over the compared benchmarks
Exploiting secure performance of full-duplex decode and forward in optimal relay selection networks
In the presence of an illegitimate user, we investigate the secrecy outage probability (SOP) of the optimal relay selection (ORS) networks by applying decode-and-forward (DnF) based full-duplex (FD) relaying mode. The closed-form expressions for the allocations of the end-to-end signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in each wireless network are derived as well as the closed-form expression for the exact SOP of the proposed ORS system is presented under Rayleigh fading schemes. As an important achievement, SOP is also compared between orthogonal multiple access (OMA) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) schemes. Our results reveal that the SOP of the suggested scheme can be considerably influenced by several parameters involved, including the number of relays, the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of eavesdropper links, transmit power and the average residual self-interference (SI) enforced on the FD relays.Web of Science244767
Secure Two-Way Transmission via Wireless-Powered Untrusted Relay and External Jammer
In this paper, we propose a two-way secure communication scheme where two
transceivers exchange confidential messages via a wireless powered untrusted
amplify-and-forward (AF) relay in the presence of an external jammer. We take
into account both friendly jamming (FJ) and Gaussian noise jamming (GNJ)
scenarios. Based on the time switching (TS) architecture at the relay, the data
transmission is done in three phases. In the first phase, both the
energy-starved nodes, the untrustworthy relay and the jammer, are charged by
non-information radio frequency (RF) signals from the sources. In the second
phase, the two sources send their information signals and concurrently, the
jammer transmits artificial noise to confuse the curious relay. Finally, the
third phase is dedicated to forward a scaled version of the received signal
from the relay to the sources. For the proposed secure transmission schemes, we
derive new closed-form lower-bound expressions for the ergodic secrecy sum rate
(ESSR) in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. We further analyze the
asymptotic ESSR to determine the key parameters; the high SNR slope and the
high SNR power offset of the jamming based scenarios. To highlight the
performance advantage of the proposed FJ, we also examine the scenario of
without jamming (WoJ). Finally, numerical examples and discussions are provided
to acquire some engineering insights, and to demonstrate the impacts of
different system parameters on the secrecy performance of the considered
communication scenarios. The numerical results illustrate that the proposed FJ
significantly outperforms the traditional one-way communication and the
Constellation rotation approach, as well as our proposed benchmarks, the
two-way WoJ and GNJ scenarios.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures, Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Vehicular

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
