摘要：Energy harvesting is a technique to harvest energy from RF (radio frequency) waves. The RF signals have the ability to convey energy and information concurrently. The EH in coop-erative relaying systems may increase the capacity and coverage of wireless networks. In this work, we study a dual-hop (two-hop) relaying. This system has three nodes: a source, a relay, and a destination. The source and destination have multiple antennas. We account a non-linear EH model and TSR (time-switching-based relaying) protocol at the single-antenna relay node. We evaluate the system performance over η−µ fading channels. With a saturation threshold, a non-linear EH receiver restrains the harvested power. In the TSR protocol, the relay changes mode between the EH and information processing, by which a fraction of time is used with each process. The fading model η−µ incorporates some fading models as notable cases, viz., Nakagami- m, One-sided Gaussian, Nakagami-q (Hoyt), and Rayleigh. The system performance is analyzed in terms of the average capacity and throughput for different saturation threshold power levels, divers antennas arrangements, and different parameter values of η and µ.
