Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the throughput of cooperative communications with wireless energy harvesting. Relay nodes harvest energy from Radio Frequency (RF) signal transmitted by the source. We derive the packet error probability as well as the throughput for Nakagami fading channels. We also suggest to enhance the throughput by choosing the value of harvesting duration. Our results are valid for both Amplify and Forward (AF) and Decode and Forward (DF) relaying.

Keywords
