Book cover Wireless Information and Power Transfer: A New Paradigm for Green Communications

Abstract

Energy harvesting is a promising solution to the limited lifetime of battery-operated devices in wireless relaying systems. In this chapter, different aspects of energy harvesting relaying will be studied. First, the performances of energy harvesting relaying systems with or without interference will be analysed in terms of different performance measures. This analysis helps to show the benefit of energy harvesting relaying. Then, a new energy harvesting relaying protocol that allows the source node to harvest energy from the relay node during the relaying phase will be examined. The extra energy harvested by the source will improve the system performance further. Finally, the channel estimation problem for energy harvesting relaying will be discussed, where the pilots used in channel estimation are transmitted using the harvested energy.
