Abstract

In this paper, an energy harvesting scheme is applied in the cooperative communication. The proposed scheme uses an energy harvesting relay in which the relay harvests the energy from the source node and transfers to the power form in forwarding the received data to the destination node. The well-known maximal ratio combining (MRC) technique is applied to increase the diversity gain at the destination. Therefore, with applying the proposed energy harvesting scheme, the limited power at the relay is solved, and the operation efficiency of the network and the mobile devices is improved. Finally, performance of the proposed protocol is analyzed in terms of bit error rate, outage probability, power collection efficiency.

본 논문에서는 협력 통신에 에너지 하베스팅 기법을 적용할 경우 발생되는 잡음을 최소화하고 성능을 개선시킬 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법은 에너지 하베스팅 노드에서 수집된 전력을 저장하고 저장된 전력을 바탕으로 중계기를 사용한다. 이때, 중계기에서는 복호 후 전송(Decode and Forward) 기법을 적용하여 잡음의 영향을 최소화하였고, 수신단에서는 최대비 결합(Maximal Ratio Combining) 기법을 적용하여 다이버시티 이득을 얻었다. 따라서 제안된 기법을 일반적인 네트워크 환경에 적용할 경우 중소형 중계기의 구동에 필요한 전력을 제거할 수 있으며, 전력의 수집으로 인해 단말기 및 네트워크의 효율성을 증가시킬 수 있다. 마지막으로, 제안한 프로토콜을 레일리 페이딩 환경에서 전력 수집 효율 및 비트오류율(Bit Error Rate), 아웃티지 확률(Outage Probability)을 통해 시스템의 성능을 평가한다.
