Analysis of Asymmetric Dual-Hop Energy Harvesting-Based Wireless Communication Systems in Mixed Fading Environments

On the performance of energy harvesting‐assisted Nth best relay cooperative networks in Nakagami‐m fading

“…In literature, the performance of radio frequency (RF)-EH-assisted relay networks have been analyzed in previous studies. 2,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Hoang et al 2 have given the outage probability (OP) for dual-hop RF EH-assisted AF and DF relay networks considering PRS scheme and SC receiver over Nakagami-m distributed channels. In Mohjazi et al, 17 a dual-hop simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) relay network with power splitting (PS) and time switching (TS) receiver architectures have been considered and then authors have derived the amount of fading (AoF), OP, achievable throughput, and average symbol error rate (ASER) for the non-coherent modulation schemes and asymptotic expressions using moment-based approach over Rayleigh fading channels.…”

“…The OP expression along with its asymptotic behavior has been derived in Chen et al, 18 considering a mixed free-space optical and radio frequency (FSO-RF) relaying EH-based network. For a dual-hop EH-based AF relay system, new expressions of average channel capacity (ACC) and ASER have been presented in Illi et al 19 considering MRC receiver with PS and TS EH protocols. Considering a DF relaying-based cooperative dual-hop network with RF EH capability and using TS protocol over Rayleigh distributed channels, the authors have derived the achievable ACC and OP in Biswas et al 20 Also, for cooperative DF and AF relaying networks, the authors have proposed a novel EH-assisted adaptive PS protocol and derived the average achievable channel capacity, as well as OP expressions in Ashraf et al 21 Considering a DF cooperative relay network with multiple passive eavesdroppers having RF EH capability, the authors have investigated the exact expressions of the intercept probability and OP in Zhang et al 22 for BR selection in Rayleigh fading scenario.…”

“…where Finally, substituting Equation (11) and Equation (19) into Equation (10) along with replacing γ by x, we can get the CDF expression of γ T for the considered system as…”
