Transmission Optimization for Hybrid Half/Full-Duplex Relay With Energy Harvesting

In this paper, the transmission optimization of a dual-hop decode-and-forward relaying system is investigated, where the relay capable of energy harvesting from ambient environment can work in hybrid half-duplex (HD) and/or full-duplex (FD) mode. To maximize the throughput from source to destination, the relay’s working mode is optimized under the constraint of random energy arrival. In particular, upon the availability of channel state information (CSI), two cases are sequentially studied: one is that CSI is unavailable to the transmitter and the other means CSI is available to the transmitter. In the former case, a dynamic programming (DP) algorithm is proposed to find the optimal working mode of the relay; moreover, to reduce the computational complexity, a linear programming (LP)-based heuristic algorithm is developed, which performs similar to the DP algorithm. In the latter case, the optimal mode of the relay is also obtainable by the DP algorithm and an approximate DP algorithm is further developed for lower computational complexity. Simulation results demonstrate that the hybrid mode outperforms pure HD and FD modes given that self-interference is efficiently suppressed.
