Abstract
In this paper, we analyse the throughput performance for two, three and four time slot transmission schemes, (2TS, 3TS and 4TS) for two-way amplify-and-forward relaying networks, in which we use RF signal for the energy harvesting (EH) enabled relay node to assist the exchange of information. Most importantly, we derive expression for delay-limited throughput and the approximate expressions for outage probability, and we also compare these results in case of EH and non-EH. Additionally, the trade-off between the distance allocation between source to relay, and relay to destination is comprehensively investigated, in which the large scale path loss is considered to obtain the optimal throughput. Thanks to the numerical results, we consider a scenario in each scheme, where the throughput of 2TS is higher regardless of values of power splitting coefficients compared to other two schemes. Numerical results provide an interesting trade-off between the considered EH parameters in the system design, and reveal the improvement of bandwidth and power efficiency. The proposed schemes confirm that the appropriate placement of nodes can help achieve low outage probability and optimal throughput.

A. Proof of Proposition 1
First, the coming up proposition 1 is established to derive the outage probability and then the output SNRs at A and B for 2TS, 3TS (in case of EH and Ideal EH) is rewritten by
where variables X and Y are \({\left| {{h_A}} \right| ^2}\) and \({\left| {{h_B}} \right| ^2}\). Constant \(Q_1^{Non,uTS} \ge 0\), \(Q_2^{Non,uTS} \ge 0\) and \(Q_3^{Non,uTS} \ge 0\) are distinguished factors from X and Y. We have
where \({\gamma _0} = R_{0,i}^{uTS}\) and \({1_{Y < \frac{{{\gamma _0}{Q_2}}}{{{Q_1}}}}}\):\({P_r}\left( {X > \frac{{{\gamma _0}{Q_3}}}{{{Q_1}Y - {\gamma _0}{Q_2}}}} \right) = 1\) because \({Q_1}Y - {\gamma _0}{Q_2}\) is a negative number and the probability of X is always 1, since X is a positive number. \({P_{out}}\) is given by
The cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the exponential random variable is denoted by \({\left| {{h_A}} \right| ^2}\) and we have \(P(X < z) = 1 - {e^{ - z/{\varOmega _A}}}\) and the average of the exponential random variable \({\left| {{h_B}} \right| ^2}\) is designated by the probability density function (PDF) of exponential random variable \({f_{{{\left| {{h_B}} \right| }^2}}}\left( z \right) \buildrel \varDelta \over = \frac{1}{{{\varOmega _B}}}{e^{ - \frac{z}{{{\varOmega _B}}}}}\). The new integration is established: \(x \buildrel \varDelta \over = {Q_1}z - {\gamma _0}{Q_2}\)
To find closed-form expression of this outage performance it need be solve the intergral function by applying \(\int \limits _0^\infty {{e^{ - \frac{\delta }{{4x}} - \lambda x}}} dx = \sqrt{\frac{\delta }{\lambda }} {K_1}\left( {\sqrt{\delta \lambda } } \right)\) thanks to formula ([20], 3.324.1), in which \({K_1}(.)\) is the modified Bessel function of the second kind. Hence, the cumulative density function (CDF) of Z is computed by
where the average of the exponential random variable \({\left| {{h_A}} \right| ^2}\) is characterized by \({\varOmega _A}\) and \({\left| {{h_B}} \right| ^2}\) is characterized by \({\varOmega _B}\). This ends the proof for Proposition 1.
B. Proof of Proposition 2
In terms of non-EH, a general form for the received SNR gain is given by
Based on the proof of Proposition 1, we have
The \(P_{out}\) is given by
Then, the CDF of Z is computed by
This ends the proof for Proposition 2.
