Abstract

AbstractThe expression for the performance of Outage probability and Average bit-error rate (ABER), have been presented in this paper, considering an arbitrary branch Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) Receiver, over Nakagami-m Fading Channels using simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). For the SWIPT system, a Power splitter (PS) at the receiver side has been employed, which splits the received signal into the information transmitter and the energy harvesting parts. A probability density function (PDF) based approach has been used to derive the outage probability and Average Bit Error Rate for binary coherent and noncoherent modulation schemes of the system. The obtained results are matched perfectly with the Monte-Carlo simulation results.Keywords: Nakagami-m fading, Energy harvesting, MRC, Power Splitter, SWIPT, Outage probability, ABERCite this ArticleNandita Deka, Rupaban Subadar.
