We propose a new protocol for energy harvesting at relay mobile node in wireless communications called energy harvesting cooperative networks (EHCN). In particular, we investigate how the harvested power at relay mobile node affects outage probability and throughput performance. Specifically, we develop outage and throughput performance characterizations in terms of time and power factors in the proposed time power switching based relaying (TPSR) protocol. A simple, highly accurate closed-form formula of outage probability is also derived. It is shown that the optimal throughput of the EHCN is critically dependent on time switching and power splitting factor of the TPSR protocol. In addition, we extend the proposed protocol performance in ideal case of receiver. The tightness of our proposed protocol is determined through Monte Carlo simulation results. Finally, our results provide useful guidelines for the design of the energy harvesting enabled relay mobile node in the EHCN.

This paper investigates the multiuser transmission network with an energy harvesting (EH) cooperative relay, where a source transmits independent information to multiple destinations with the help of an energy constrained relay. The relay can harvest energy from the radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted from the source, and it helps the multiuser transmission only by consuming the harvested energy. By adopting the time switching and the power splitting relay receiver architectures, we firstly propose two protocols, the time switching cooperative multiuser transmission (TSCMT) protocol and the power splitting cooperative multiuser transmission (PSCMT) protocol, to enable the simultaneous information processing and EH at the relay for the system. To evaluate the system performance, we theoretically analyze the system outage probability for the two proposed protocols and then derive explicit expressions for each of them, respectively. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the accuracy of our analytical results and reveal that compared with traditional noncooperative scheme our proposed protocols are green solutions to offer reliable communication and lower system outage probability without consuming additional energy. In particular, for the same transmit power at the source, the PSCMT protocol is superior to the TSCMT protocol to obtain lower system outage probability.

We investigate secure communications in untrusted energy harvesting relay networks, where the amplify-and-forward relay is an energy constrained node powered by the received radio frequency signals, and try to unauthorizedly decode the confidential information from the source. The secrecy outage probability and connection outage probability are respectively derived in closed-form to evaluate the security and reliability for three energy harvesting strategies, for example, time switching relaying strategy, power splitting relaying strategy, and ideal relaying receiver strategy. Subsequently, the effective secrecy throughput is conducted to characterize the overall efficiency, and the asymptotic analysis of the secrecy throughput is given to determine the optimal energy harvesting strategies in different operating regimes. Furthermore, in order to achieve the optimal effective secrecy throughput performance, a switching threshold between time switching relaying and power splitting relaying is designed. Numerical results verify the accuracy of the analytical expressions and reveal that the effective secrecy throughput of the system can be effectively promoted by the threshold switching energy harvesting strategy.

This paper studies the joint impact of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) and nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) to the cooperative relay (CoR) network where direct links exist. Over Nakagami-m fading environments, the near users employ decode-and-forward (DF) and energy harvesting (EH) to assist the transmission from the source to the far users. Exploiting the time-switching protocol (TSP) and power-splitting protocol (PSP) to the CoR-based NOMA system, analytical results for the outage probability are derived, and the corresponding throughput is obtained. Comparative results show that the PSP outperforms the TSP at low transmit power, while at high-transmit-power regime, the TSP provides similar performance as the PSP.

A joint resource allocation algorithm to minimize the system outage probability is proposed for a decode-and-forward (DF) two-way relay network with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) under a total power constraint. In this network, the two sources nodes exchange information with the help of a passive relay, which is assumed to help the two source nodes’ communication without consuming its own energy by exploiting an energy-harvesting protocol, the power splitting (PS) protocol. An optimization framework to jointly optimize power allocation (PA) at the source nodes and PS at the relay is developed. Since the formulated joint optimization problem is non-convex, the solution is developed in two steps. First, the conditionally optimal PS ratio at the relay node for a given PA ratio is explored; then, the closed-form of the optimal PA in the sense of minimizing the system outage probability with instantaneous channel state information (CSI) is derived. Analysis shows that the optimal design depends on the channel condition and the rate threshold. Simulation results are obtained to validate the analytical results. Comparison with three existing schemes shows that the proposed optimized scheme has the minimum system outage probability.

We consider a multiple-input multiple-output amplify-and-forward wireless multiple-hop sensor network (WMSN). The simultaneous wireless information and power transfer technology is deployed to potentially achieve an autonomous system. We investigate two practical receiver schemes, which are the power splitting (PS) and the time switching (TS). The power splitting receiver splits received signals into two streams, one for information decoding (ID) and the other for energy harvesting (EH). On the other hand, the time switching receiver only serves in ID mode or energy harvesting mode during a certain time slot. Subject to transmit power constraints and destination harvested energy constraint, we aim to obtain a joint beam-forming solution of source and relay precoders to maximize the maximum achievable rate of the WSN. In order to make the non-convex problem tractable, diagonalization-based alternating optimization algorithms are proposed. Numerical results show the convergence and good performance of the proposed algorithms under both PS and TS protocols.

In this paper, we investigate the system performance in term of outage probability (OP) and intercept probability (IP) user selection protocols in full-duplex (FD) power splitting protocol (PSP) energy harvesting (EH) cooperative network over the Rayleigh fading channel. In this network, security and privacy issues are significant due to the possible eavesdropping by surrounding users. In this case, the security performance and reliable performance are represented by outage probability (OP) and intercept probability (IP), respectively. The power-splitting energy harvesting protocol is applied in our analysis. We rigorously derive the closed-form expressions of both OP and IP of the system and study the effect of various parameters. Finally, the Monte Carlo simulation results are also performed to confirm the correctness of all theoretical analysis derived.

In this work, the system performance analysis of cooperative networks with power splitting protocol-based energy harvesting (EH) over Nakagami-m/Rayleigh channels is proposed. The exact-form expressions of the outage probability (OP) and ergodic capacity (EC) is demonstrated and derived. Using the proposed probabilistic models for wireless channels, we derive OP and EC as a research result. Finally, we conduct Monte Carlo simulations to verify a system performance analysis of the proposed system. The research results demonstrate the effectiveness of EH in the network over Nakagami-m/Rayleigh channels.

Energy harvesting (EH) combined with cooperative relying plays a promising role in future wireless communication systems. We consider a wireless multiple EH relay system. All relays are assumed to be EH nodes with simultaneous wireless and information transfer (SWIPT) capabilities, which means the relays are wirelessly powered by harvesting energy from the received signal. Each EH node separates the input RF signal into two parts which are, respectively, for EH and information transmission using the power splitting (PS) protocol. In this paper, a closed-form outage probability expression is derived for the cooperative relaying system based on the characteristic function of the system’s probability density function (PDF) with only one relay. With the approximation of the outage probability expression, three optimization problems are built to minimize the outage probability under different constraints. We use the Lagrange method and Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) condition to solve the optimization problems to jointly optimize the relay’s PS factors and the transmit power. Numerical results show that our derived expression of the outage probability is accuracy and gives insights into the effect of various system parameters on the performance of protocols. Meanwhile, compared with the no optimal condition, our proposed optimization algorithms can all offer superior performance under different system constraints.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and energy harvesting (EH) are combined to introduce a dual-hop wireless sensor system. In particular, this paper considers a novel EH protocol based on time power switching-based relaying (TPSR) architecture for amplify-and-forward (AF) mode. We introduce a novel system model presenting wireless network with impacts of energy harvesting fractions and derive analytical expressions for outage probability and ergodic rate for the information transmission link. It confirmed that the right selection of power allocation for NOMA users can be performed to obtain optimal outage and ergodic capacity performance. Theoretical results show that, in comparison with the conventional solutions, the proposed model can achieve acceptable outage performance for sufficiently small threshold signal to noise ratio (SNR) with condition of controlling time switching fractions and power splitting fractions appropriately in considered TPSR protocol. We also examine the impacts of transmitting power at source, transmission rate, the other key parameters of TPSR to outage, and ergodic performance. Simulation results are presented to corroborate the proposed system.
