Opportunistic relaying with wireless energy harvesting in a cognitive radio system

In this paper, the performance of opportunistic relay selection (ORS) in a cognitive radio is analyzed over flat Rayleigh fading channels. Data transmission between source and destination is assumed to be entirely performed via the relays. Relay nodes are assumed to have ability to harvest energy from the source signal and use that harvested energy to forward the information to the destination. Specifically, we derive an exact expression for the outage probability of the secondary system considering the maximum transmit power at the secondary transmitter and relays, energy harvesting efficiency at relays, and interference constraint at the primary receiver. Under the assumption of perfect channel state information at the receivers, we evaluate the outage probability of a cognitive radio system with ORS and energy harvesting.
