Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the outage performance of an energy harvesting underlay cognitive multi-hop relay network. In the network, energy-constrained secondary network (SN) nodes harvest energy from radio frequency signal of a power beacon (PB) node. The source node transmits information to destination node via multiple intermediate relay nodes by using a time division broadcast protocol, and the hardware impairments of SN nodes’ transceiver are modeled. The outage performance of SN is analyzed and evaluated by accurately approximate and asymptotic closed-form expressions of outage probability (OP) over quasi-static mixed Rayleigh and double-Rayleigh fading channels. Additionally, due to the complexity of OP expression, a chaotic dragonfly algorithm (CDA) is proposed to jointly optimize energy harvesting ratio and PB node’s abscissa, which can achieve OP minimization of SN. Extensive simulations demonstrate the correctness of theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed CDA.
