Performance analysis of energy harvesting full duplex relay system with power beacon

Abstract

- In this paper, we study a full-duplex (FD) decode and-forward (DF) relay system exploiting wireless power transfer. Against with published works, we consider the case in which both Source node (S) and Relay node (R) harvest energy from power beacon (B), the destination node D is powered by a stable power source. We mathematically derive expressions of outage probability (OP) and network throughput of the considered FD-DF relay system over Nakagami-m fading channels. From these expressions, the system performance is analyzed in various scenarios, such as the impact of m parameters and the time duration for harvesting. Finally, we use Monte-Carlo simulations to verify our analysis.
