Abstract

Simultaneous wireless power and signal transfer is particularly important to communication scenarios with constrained energy, such as wireless sensor networks. This paper considers a wireless cooperative network with multiple pairs of sources and destinations communicating via a relay. The impact of various strategies of power allocation on the end-to-end transmission reliability in this cooperative network is studied. Both analytical and numerical results are developed to facilitate the comparison among the different power allocation strategies.
