DSSC based RF energy harvesting using 2RRS scheme

Abstract

In recent years, radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting (EH) has gained prominence in wireless networks. Both data transmission and powering energy-constrained network nodes are possible using RF. Fading is one of the many issues that prevent wireless networks from transmitting signals effectively. Data is sent from the source to the destination with fewer hops when cooperative communication is used. This thesis considers a twin-hop relay-aided network with wireless energy harvesting. The source's RF energy is captured by the relays and used for data transmission. Using the results from the simulations and the Distributed Switch and Stay Combining (DSSC) combining technique at the receiver, the performance of the proposed relay selection that is Two Round Relay Selection (2RRS) network in terms of outage probability, throughput, and spectral efficiency are analysed.
