Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer for Dynamic Cooperative Spectrum Sharing Networks

摘要

In this paper, we provide a comprehensive performance analysis of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) for cognitive relay networks with different relay schemes. In the considered system, the energy-constrained secondary transmitter harvests the energy from the primary signal and then employs the harvested energy to forward the primary signal along with the secondary signal simultaneously. To improve the spectral efficiency, we propose a novel cooperative spectrum sharing protocol with dynamic time-slot allocation based on energy harvesting, namely, dynamic time-power-based cooperative spectrum sharing protocol. Considering the delay-limited transmission mode, we analytically derive the exact closed-form expressions of outage probabilities and achievable throughput for both the primary and secondary networks with amplify-and-forward and decode-and-forward relaying schemes, respectively. More importantly, different from the existing works, we take into account the power outage probability at the energy-constrained secondary transmitter to better match the reality. Finally, the numerical results are provided to evaluate the effect of different key parameters on the system performance, which demonstrate that the dynamic cooperative spectrum sharing protocol improves the outage performance compared with the uniform time-slot allocation scheme.
