  • Abstract
    We consider a wireless energy harvesting (EH) relay network. Relays without embedded energy supply harvest energy from the source node. Considering a time switching protocol, performance measures such as average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), outage and throughput are analyzed. Subsequently, optimal EH time is selected in order to maximize the throughput. Then, a multiple-relay network is considered with relay selection, which can achieve full diversity at any EH time. All theoretical results are validated by numerical simulations.
