Outage Performance Of Full-Duplex Relay Networks Powered By Rf Power Station In Ubiquitous Electric Internet Of Things

This paper investigates a full-duplex relay network assisted by radio frequency (RF) power station in ubiquitous electric Internet of Things (UEIoT), where a wireless sensor on high voltage transmission line collects electric data and then transmits data to a destination via a full-duplex decode-and-forward relay. The destination receives and processes the data to inspect the state of high voltage transmission line. Both the sensor and relay do not have fixed energy source; so, they first have to harvest energy from a RF power station and then complete information transmission by using the harvested energy. As the line-of-sight (LOS) propagations often exist in outdoor application scenarios of UEIoT, the Rician fading channel is adopted in the network. To explore the system outage performance, the explicit expressions of the outage probability and throughput of the system are derived by using mathematical analysis. Simulation results validate the correctness of our theoretical analysis and also evaluate the effects of system parameters and deployment position of power station on the outage performance.
