Title: Two Way Relaying Assisted with Energy Harvesting Relays
Abstract: Multiple relay selection scheme for energy harvesting (EH)-based on TWR system is investigated. All the relays are considered as EH nodes that harvest energy from renewable and radio frequency sources, where the relays forward the information to the sources. The power-splitting (PS) protocol, in which the receiver splits the input radio frequency signal into two components: for information transmission and for energy harvesting, is adopted in the relay side. The objective is to optimize the PS ratios, the relays transmit power, and the selected relays in order to maximize the total rate utility over multiple coherent time slots. A joint-optimization solution based on geometric programming and binary particle swarm optimization is proposed to solve the problem.
