Multi-source in DF cooperative networks with the PSR protocol based full-duplex energy harvesting over a Rayleigh fading channel: performance analysis

摘要

Due to the tremendous energy consumption growth with ever-increasing connected devices, alternative wirelessinformation and power transfer techniques are important not only for theoretical research but also for saving operational costsand for a sustainable growth of wireless communications. In this paper, we investigate the multi-source in decode-and-forwardcooperative networks with the power splitting protocol based full-duplex energy harvesting relaying network over a Rayleighfading channel. In this system model, the multi-source and the destination communicate with each other by both the direct linkand an intermediate helping relay. First, we investigate source selection for the best system performance. Then, the closed-formexpression of the outage probability and the symbol error ratio are derived. Finally, the Monte Carlo simulation is used forvalidating the analytical expressions in connection with all main possible system parameters. The research results show that theanalytical and simulation results matched well with each other.
