In this paper, a dual-hop cooperative diversity land mobile satellite system (LMSS) respectively adopted amplify-and-forward (AF), decode-and-forward (DF), and coded cooperation (CC) relaying protocols is proposed, and the outage probability behaviors of the three protocols have been analyzed. We use the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of each path to derive the closed-form expressions of outage pr...

We analyze the achievable rate of the superposition of block Markov encoding (decode-and-forward) and side information encoding (compress-and-forward) for the three-node Gaussian relay channel. It is generally believed that the superposition can out perform decode-and-forward or compress-and-forward due to its generality. We prove that within the class of Gaussian distributions, this is not the...

In this paper, we explore the impacts of utilizing intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) in a power-splitting based simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (PS-SWIPT) system and compare its performance with the traditional decode and forward relaying system. To analyze a more practical system, it is also assumed that the receiving nodes are subject to decoding cost, and they are on...
