Non-Linear Energy Harvesting Dual-hop DF Relaying System over n-µ Fading Channels

Abstract

In this work, we analyze a wireless energy harvest-ing decode-and-forward (DF) relaying network with beamforming that is based on a practical non-linear energy harvesting model over η-μ fading channels. We consider a dual-hop relaying system having multiple antennas at the source and destination only. The single-antenna energy constrained relay assists the source to communicate with the destination. At the relay node, we assume a non-linear energy harvesting receiver which limits the harvested power level with a saturation threshold. By considering a power-splitting based relaying (PSR) protocol and a non-linear energy harvesting receiver, we analyze the system performance in terms of the outage probability and throughput for various antennas combinations and for various values of the fading parameters, η and μ. The η-μ fading model has a few particular cases, viz., Rayleigh, Nakagami-m, and Hoyt. These results are general and can be reduced for different fading scenarios as well as for linear energy harvesting relaying.
