Abstract

In this paper, in the obscene of a direct link between the source (S) and the destination (D), a dual-hop (DH) amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying scheme is considered. Both S and the relay (R) are assumed devoid of their own power supplies and gain energy from the radio frequency (RF) signal transmitted by a power beacon (PB). All nodes are assumed to be equipped by one antenna and operate in half-duplex (HD) mode. The links S→R and R→D are assumed to be exposed to Rayleigh fading while the links PB→S and PB→R are exposed to Nakagami-m fading due to the line-of-sight. The end-to-end bit error probability (BEP) of the considered DH-AF relaying scheme is analytically derived and validated via Monte-Carlo simulation results. The performance results and comparisons are provided with respect to different system parameters as transfer power, distance and location of R and PB.
