Abstract
This paper investigates the outage performance of multihop energy harvesting cognitive relay network (EH-CRN), in which the secondary nodes are powered by dedicated power beacons based on the time splitting strategy. Assuming a multihop secondary network, we derive an analytical expression for the outage probability experienced by a secondary user by taking into account the effect of interference power from primary source. The developed outage probability model can be used to assess the impact of some key parameters on the reliability of the secondary user’s link in an EH-CRN. We then investigate the optimal location of the relay node in a one dimensional two-hop secondary network that minimizes the outage probability. Next, we study how the various system parameters such as energy harvesting efficiency, path loss exponent, harvest-to-transmit time duration ratio and transmit power from primary source affect the optimal relay location. The outage improvement achieved when the relay is placed at the optimum location is also investigated. Furthermore, the sensitivity of optimal relay location to the variations in position of the primary receiver is examined. Extensive simulation results are used to corroborate the analytical findings.
