Abstract
The concept of energy harvesting-assisted relay has been introduced to support the relaying transmission using Device-to-Device (D2D) communications for enhancing communication reliability. Motivated by the recent advance in Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) using relaying techniques, we consider the D2D communication provided by Energy Harvesting (EH) assisted relay where signal is forwarded from a Base Station (BS) to the conventional cellular user (non-D2D user) and D2D user. We first derive the outage probability by taking into account the SNR and power allocation parameters, and propose the transmission mode for D2D link as well as non-D2D link. After deriving the outage probability of the D2D-HetNet, we explore the effects of the network parameters on the outage probability and throughput.
