Abstract
The outage probability of a decode‐and‐forward (DF) relaying system based on simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in the presence of Nakagami fading is investigated. The relaying model considers both the source‐destination direct link in addition to the source‐relay‐destination link. The power splitter at the relaying device provides energy to the relay by splitting the received signal power into energy harvesting and information transfer parts. The derived outage expression is verified using simulation results. The results show an impressive amount of percentage decrease in outage probability for Nakagami fading with different values of shape parameter in comparison to Rayleigh fading.
