Abstract
Relay communication, in which the relay forwards the signal received by a source to a destination, has a massive consideration in research, due to its ability to expand the coverage, increase the capacity, and reduce the power consumption. In this paper, we proposed and investigated energy harvesting (EH) based two-way half-duplex (TWHD) relaying sensors network using selection combining (SC) over block Rayleigh fading channel. In this model, we proposed the direct link between two sources for improving the system performance. For the system performance analysis, we investigated and derived the closed-form of the exact and upper bound Ergodic capacity (EC) and the exact form of the symbol error ratio (SER). By using the Monte Carlo simulation, the correctness of the research results is verified in the influence of the main system parameters. From the discussions, we can see that the analytical and simulation agree well with each other.
1. Introduction
Radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting (EH) in wireless communications has recently attracted considerable attention which becomes particularly more attractive in applications where battery-limited devices are not easily accessible, and replacing or recharging their batteries is inconvenient, costly and/or unsafe such as devices embedded inside human bodies and wireless sensors operating under dangerous conditions. This solution is based on the fact that RF signals can concurrently carry information and energy, hence allowing energy-constrained nodes to harvest energy and process information simultaneously. This is referred to as simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). Motivated by this, nodes in future wireless networks are envisioned to be energy self-sufficient and more sustainable by harvesting RF signals from the surrounding environment [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. The first basic idea about SWIPT was proposed in [12], in which wireless information and power transfer across a noisy coupled-inductor circuit. After that, other authors have studied the various communication network types based on the SWIPT for different system networks, such as the deployment of PBs for powering a cellular network via MPT investigated in [13], or the communication system network with the single antenna receiver station for energy and information via power splitting protocol studied in [14,15]. In [16], the energy harvesting and information transmission in the wireless multi-antenna communication systems are investigated via a simplified three-node setup. The new wireless RF powered network with the H-AP harvested energy in the downlink and transferred the information in the uplink by TDMA is proposed and demonstrated in [17].
Furthermore, the cooperative relaying network has been deeply studied in the last ten years for improving the system performance of the communication network. The source and destination nodes can be communicated by helping the intermediate relay when the direct link between them is weak or with the long distance. The authors in [18] considered and investigated the outage probability of the three-node cooperative relaying network with a fundamental switching between energy harvesting and data relaying. The relay selection problem in the AF relay network with QoS and harvested energy constraints is proposed in [19]. In this paper, the authors investigated the dependence of the system ergodic capacity and the outage probability on the amount of energy transferred to the RF energy harvesters. In [20], the authors investigated joint wireless information and energy transfer in a two-user MIMO interference channel, in which each receiver either decodes the incoming information data or harvests the RF energy. Further, joint wireless information and energy transfer methods in a general K-user MIMO interference channel was studied in [21]. A wireless cooperative network with multiple source-destination pairs communicate with each other via an energy harvesting relay is presented in [22], and authors investigated the relay’s strategies to distribute the harvested energy among the multiple users and their impact on the system performance. In [23], the authors focused on the two-way amplify-and-forward relaying channels with an energy harvesting relay node. Here, the relay node harvests energy from signals from two sources and uses this energy for information transferring between them with amplify-and-forward mode. For multiple-input multiple-output relay channels [24], proposed a low complexity dynamic antenna switching between information decoding and energy harvesting based on the principles of the generalized selection combiner. The authors in [25] proposed and studied a cooperative multi-hop secured transmission protocol to underlay cognitive radio networks by formulating an effective signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) as well as secrecy capacity under the constraints of the maximum transmit power, the interference threshold, and the hardware impairment level. Furthermore [26], presented a partial relay selection (PRS) protocol to enhance the secrecy performance for cooperative cognitive radio networks (CRNs). For this purpose, the authors investigated the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and the probability of non-zero secrecy capacity (NSC) of the proposed network system. As shown in [27], the problem of designing a good strategy for EH in AF wireless relay systems is considered, and the combination between the wireless power transfer and cooperative jamming (CJ) is studied in [28] for enhancing the physical security in public transportation networks. Full duplex (FD) cognitive radio network, implementing the technique of energy harvesting (EH), is proposed and studied in [29]. And the authors in [30] investigated how to maximize the energy efficiency of the BS while making full use of the relay’s renewable energy and meeting the average throughput requirement. From that point of view, the system performance analysis of the communication cooperative relaying network is the hot research direction in our time.
In this paper, we proposed and investigated Energy Harvesting (EH) based Two-Way Half-Duplex (TWHD) relaying cooperative sensor network using selection combining over block Rayleigh fading channel. Firstly, we proposed the system model with two sources S1, S2, and one intermediate relay R. Then, we investigated the system performance in terms of the ergodic capacity (EC) and SER. Finally, all the mathematical analytical expressions are verified by Monte Carlo simulation, and the influence of some main system parameters on the system performance is demonstrated. From the discussions, we can see that the analytical and simulation agree well with each other. The main contribution of this research can be pointed out as the followings:
- (1)
- Energy harvesting based two-way half-duplex relaying cooperative network using selection combining over block Rayleigh fading channel is proposed and investigated
- (2)
- The closed-form of the upper bound EC and exact SER of the model system is derived.
- (3)
- All the results are convinced by Monte Carlo simulation in connection with all primary system parameters.
The rest of this manuscript can be drawn as follows. We provide the system model, the energy and information transfer phases in Section 2. The closed-form expressions of system upper bound EC and SER are derived in Section 3. We introduce the results and some discussions in Section 4. In the last section, some conclusions are proposed.
2. Relaying Network Model
In this section, the energy harvesting based two-way half-duplex relaying sensor cooperative network is drawn in Figure 1. In this system model, sources are denoted as S1 and S2, and the relay is R. We assume that all links between them are available and are block Rayleigh fading channels. The EH and information transformation (IT) for this proposed model system are illustrated in Figure 2. In this protocol, the transmission is divided into blocks of length T, which consists of three-time slots. In the first time slot T/3, the R harvests energy ρP1 from the source node S1, and the source uses the energy (1−ρ)P1 for information transmission to R and S2 (here : is the power splitting factor). In the second interval time T/3, the R harvests energy ρP2 from the source node S2, and the source S2 uses the energy (1−ρ)P2 for information transmission to R and S1. Finally, the remaining time slot T/3 is used for information transferring from the R to the source nodes S1 and S2 [30,31,32,33,34,35].

2.1. Energy Harvesting Phase
Let S1 transmits the symbol x1 in the first phase. The received signal at the relay node R and source node S2 can be expressed, respectively, as
where is expectation operator and P1 represents the average transmit power at the S1. Further, denote the zero-mean additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) with variance N0 and are the channel gain of S1-R and S2-R links, respectively.
The harvested energy at the relay node can be given as
where is energy conversion efficiency and is the power splitting factor.
In the second phase, the source node S2 will transmit the symbol x2 to the nodes R and S1. Therefore, the received signals at the R and S1 can be expressed, respectively, as
where , P2 represents the average transmit power at the S2. Further, we assume that are the zero-mean additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) with variance N0.
Similar to the first phase, the total harvested energy at the relay node can be obtained as
We assume that the average transmit power from source S1 and S2 is equal. So, the Equation (4) can be rewritten as
where we denote .
Therefore, the average transmit power at the relay node can be given as
2.2. Information Transmission Phase
In the first phase, after doing EH, S1 will broadcast the information to the R node and S2 with remaining power . Hence, the received signal at the R node and S2 node can be expressed, respectively, as
where is the channel gain of S1-S2 link.
Similar to the first phase, the received signal at the R node and S1 node can be given in the second phase, respectively, as
where is the channel gain of S2-S1 link.
Finally, in the third phase, the received signal at the source S1 and S2 can be expressed, respectively, as
where we denote . And are the channel gain of R-S1 and R-S2 links, respectively.
In AF technique, in order to ensure that the transmission power at R is PR, the amplifying coefficient can be chosen as
From Equation (9), the received signal at the source S1 can be rewritten as
where denote the zero-mean additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) with variance N0.
Replace Equations (7) and (8) into (11); finally, we have
where denote the total AWGN at the relay with variance N0.
This signal contains both messages x1 and x2, while the only x2 is the desired signal at x1. Since node x1 perfectly knows its transmitted symbol x1, it can eliminate the corresponding self-interference term from . Therefore, Equation (12) can be rewritten as
From Equation (13), the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of S2-R-S1 link can be calculated as
Replace (10) into (14), and after doing some algebra, we have the final form
where we denote .
In the second phase, S2 will transmit the data to S1 directly, from Equation (8) the received signal destination can be given as
where we denote .
Finally, using the selection combining (SC) at the receiver S1, the end to end SNR of AF mode at the source S1 can be obtained as
3. Upper Bound Ergodic Capacity and Exact SER Analysis
3.1. Upper Bound Ergodic Capacity Analysis
The EC of the proposed system can be formulated as the following
It is easy to observe that Equation (18) is tough to compute in the closed-form expression. So, we will calculate it in the UPPER bound analysis. From Equation (18), EC in UPPER bound can be given as the following equation
where .
Here, we have
where .
In order to calculate Equation (20), we have to find . So, combined with Equation (17), can be given as
Firstly, we consider P1

Applying Equation (3.324.1) in [36], Equation (22) can be reformulated as
Secondly, P2 can be obtained by the following equation
where is the mean of RV .
Substituting Equations (23) and (24) into (21), we can obtain as followings
where is the modified Bessel function of the second kind and vth order.
Derivate Equation (25) by using the formula , we have
Substituting Equation (26) into (20), we have
The first term of Equation (27) can be derived as
where we demote
And then applying Equation (6.643,3) in [36], A2 can be reformulated as
where is the Gamma function and is the Whittaker function.
The second term of Equation (27) can be derived as
where we denote
By applying Equation (6.643, 3) in [36], we can calculate B1, B2, B3, and B4, respectively, as follows:
where is the Whittaker function which can be defined in [36].
3.2. SER Analysis
In this section, we obtain new expressions for the SER at the destination. We first consider the outage probability, which was obtained in [31]. Thus, we have
is the Gaussian Q-function, while a and b are constants, which are specific for modulation type. for binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) and for Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK). As a result, before obtaining the SER performance, the distribution function of is expected. Then, we begin rewriting the SER expression given in Equation (37) directly in terms of outage probability at the source S1 by using integration, as follows
Substituting Equation (25) into (38), we have
where we denote
Apply Equation (3.361,2) in [36], I1 and I2 can be obtained as, respectively
and
Moreover, I3 and I4 can be denoted as
and
Applying Equation (6.614,4) in [36], I3 and I4 can be claimed as, respectively
where is the Gamma function and is the Whittaker function.
Finally, substituting Equations (40)–(43) into (39), SER at the source S1 can be obtained as
4. Numerical Results and Discussion
In this section, we present numerical results to demonstrate the system performance of the proposed system network in the above section. The correctness of the analytical analysis in the above section is verified by the Monte Carlo simulation as in [25,26,27,28,29,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44].
In this section, we investigate the impact of ψ on the system performance of the proposed system in cases with and without the direct link between the S1 and S2 nodes. The Figure 3 shows the system EC versus ψ in the presence of the direct link between the S1 and S2 sources. In Figure 3, we set some primary system parameters as η = 0.8, λ1 = 5, λ2 = λ4 = 10, λ3 = 2, ρ = 0.5, and 0.85. In this simulation, we consider both the exact and upper bond EC in the influence of ψ as shown in Figure 3. From Figure 3, we can state that both the exact and upper bond system EC rise while we vary ψ from 10 dB to 10 dB and the exact EC is higher than the upper bond system EC with all ψ values. Moreover, the analytical expression of the exact and upper bond system EC in the above section is verified by the simulation results using Monte Carlo Simulation. Furthermore, the comparison system EC in cases with and without a direct link between the sources S1 and S2 is illustrated in Figure 4 with the primary system parameters as η = 0.5 and 0.85, respectively. In the same way with the above case, the system EC significantly increases with rising ψ from 10 dB to 10 dB in both cases with and without a direct link between the sources S1 and S2 as in Figure 4. In addition, the system EC in the case with a direct link is better than in the case without a direct link between two sources. It can be observed that the direct link can lead to more useful information transmission in the proposed system. In the model system with the direct link, system has two way to transfer the information as via helping relay and direct link. With two way of information transmission via relay and direct link, this case is effective in information transferring in comparison with the case only with helping of the relay as in [45]. Further, the analytical and the simulation results match well for all possible values of ψ as shown in Figure 4.

The comparison EC versus ψ.
In order to further observe the effect of power splitting coefficient ρ on the exact and upper bond system EC, Figure 5 shows the exact and upper bond system EC versus ρ with the main system parameters as the follows η = 0.8, λ1 = 5, λ2 = λ4 = 10, λ3 = 2, ψ = 5, and 10 dB, respectively. In this case, we vary the power splitting coefficient ρ from 0 to 1. From the result, we can see that the exact and upper bond system EC increases significantly to the optimal values while ρ increases to 0.4, and after that falls up from the optimal values with the rising of ρ to 1. This is the case because more energy used for the harvesting energy process can lead to an increase of the system EC. Still, the over-harvesting energy process can cause less information transmission and lead to the falling of the system EC as shown in Figure 5. In addition, the difference of the upper and exact maximum ergodic capacity as shown in Figure 3 with ρ = 0.5 is 0.4681 bps/Hz (9.5%) 0.4681 bps/Hz (9.5%) and ρ = 0.85 is 0.3927 bps/Hz (9.1%); and in Figure 5, the difference of the upper and exact maximum ergodic capacity with is 0.4398 bps/Hz (12.7%) and with is 0.51 bps/Hz (10.2%).
Figure 5.
EC versus ρ.
Furthermore, the comparison of the system EC of the cases with and without a direct link between the sources S1 and S2 is drawn in Figure 6 with η = 0.5 and 0.85, respectively. As shown in Figure 6, the system EC in the case with the presence of the direct link is better than the case without in connection with the better information and energy transmission processes with the direct link between the sources. In both Figure 5 and Figure 6, the simulation and the analytical values are the same with all values of ρ to confirm the analytical analysis in the above section.
Figure 6.
The comparison EC versus ρ.
Finally, Figure 7 and Figure 8 show the effect of the ψ and ρ on the system SER, respectively. Here, we set the main system parameters as η = 0.8, λ1 = 5, λ2 = λ4 = 10, λ3 = 2, ψ = 10 dB for Figure 8 and ρ = 0.5 for Figure 7, respectively. Moreover, the system SER significantly falls while the ψ varies from −10 dB to 10 dB as shown in Figure 7. From the results in Figure 8, it can be seen that the system SER decreases with ρ varies from 0.1 to 0.5, and after that increases with ρ from 0.5 to 1. The optimal value of system SER can be obtained with ρ from 0.4 to 0.6. It can be observed from Figure 6 and Figure 7 that the analytical results have an agreement to the simulations for both cases to verify the correctness of the above analytical section.

5. Conclusions
In this paper, we investigated the EH Based TWHD relaying sensor network system using selection combining over block Rayleigh fading channel. In this model, we propose the direct link between two sources for improving the system performance. For the system performance analysis, we investigate and derived the closed-form of the upper bound EC and the exact form of the SER. By using the Monte Carlo simulation, the correctness of the research results is verified in the influence of the main system parameters. From the discussions, we can see that the analytical and simulation agree well with each other. This research can be considered as a novel recommendation for a communication cooperative relaying sensor network.
