Throughput Analysis of Buffer-Aided Decode-and-Forward Wireless Relaying with RF Energy Harvesting

Improving Two-Way Selective Decode-and-forward Wireless Relaying with Energy-Efficient One-bit Soft Forwarding

Inspired by the application scenarios such as battery-operated wireless sensor networks (WSN), we investigate the design of an easy-to-implement energy-efficient two-way relaying scheme in which two source nodes exchange their messages with the help of an intermediate relay node. Due to their efficient decoder hardware implementation, block codes, such as Hamming and BCH codes, instead of convo...

Wireless Information and Energy Transfer for Decode-and-Forward Relaying MIMO-OFDM Networks

This paper investigates the system achievable rate and optimization for the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system with an energy harvesting (EH) relay. Firstly we propose a time switchingbased relaying (TSR) protocol to enable the simultaneous information processing and energy harvesting at the relay. Then, we discuss its achievable rate ...

On Throughput Performance of Decode and Forward Cooperative Relaying with Packet Combining and Arq

Cooperative Diversity can be used by wireless nodes to take the benefit of broadcast nature and inherent spatial diversity of wireless channel to relay messages for each others. This helps to propagate redundant signals over multiple paths, which can be used to combat the channel noise and fading effects. We investigate the use of packet combining in cooperative diversity scenario. In our appro...

Throughput performance of parallel and repetition coding in incremental decode-and-forward relaying

The throughput performance of cooperative repetition and parallel coding in incremental decode-andforward is investigated. Four transmission methods are considered: parallel coding with and without distributed space-time coding (PC-ST and PC, respectively); and repetition coding with and without Chase combining at the destination (RC and SC, respectively). The analysis is based on the mutual in...
