Abstract
This letter analyzes the performance of a dynamic home area network (HAN) for smart grid communication using space shift keying modulation and energy harvesting. HAN plays a vital role in communication between home appliances and smart meters. The network considered here is with the multiple numbers of transmitting antennas at each home appliance and a single receiving antenna at the smart meter, which operates under the Saleh-Valenzuela channel. The average bit error probability performance of the indoor HAN with wireless power communication is derived in closed form by implementing the multi-user selection combining method. The numerical results and simulation results are presented to illustrate the impact of energy harvesting on system performance.
