In this paper, we consider a wireless-powered dual-relay network consisting of one multi-antenna source, two single-antenna energy-constrained relays and one single-antenna destination without direct source to destination link. In order to establish the communication flow, the energy-constrained relays harvest energy from the radio frequency transmitted by the source firstly, then exploit the harvested energy to forward the source information to the destination based on distributed space time coding (DSTC). Under this network architecture, three decode-and-forward (DF) technique-based relaying protocols, i.e., time switching-based relaying (TSR) protocol, power splitting-based relaying (PSR) protocol, and hybrid relaying (HR) protocol, are considered to drive the energy transfer and information transmission. To maximize the network throughput, the joint design for the optimal energy and information beamforming vectors employed at the source, the optimal time switching, and power splitting ratios under these three protocols are investigated and solved efficiently by employing simple sequential optimization approach or alternating optimization approach. Simulations are conducted to show the superior performance achieved by our proposed scheme. Moreover, we find that the TSR protocol outperforms the PSR protocol in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region, while the latter outperforms the former in the high SNR region. And the HR protocol achieves the best performance in any SNR region. At the same time, the effect of the relays' locations on the throughput performance of these three protocols is also investigated.

“…Energy harvesting (EH) has turned up to be vital in different wireless network models to deal with the limited power supply and storage at transceivers, such as at sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks [8]- [11]. Many EH techniques have been integrated into the devices to prolong the lifetime of energy-constrained wireless networks [12], [13]. The EH circuits can perform simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) which can be used in various critical environment, such as healthcare, disaster, rescue, etc.…”

“…To address this problem, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has been recently proposed as a promising solution to prolong the lifetime of energy-constrained wireless networks, where the wireless signal is either switched in the time domain or split in the power domain to provide signal transmission and power transfer using the same wireless carrier, i.e., time switching (TS) strategy and power splitting (PS) strategy. Accordingly, SWIPT is applicable in energy-constrained networks for striking a balance between information and energy [3][4][5].…”
This paper investigates an energy-constrained two-way multiplicative amplify-and-forward (AF) relay network, where a practical nonlinear energy harvesting (NLEH) model is equipped at the relay to realize simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). We focus on the design of dynamic power splitting (DPS) strategy, in which the PS ratio is able to adjust itself according to the instantaneous channel state information (CSI). Specifically, we first formulate an optimization problem to maximize the outage throughput, subject to the NLEH. Since this formulated problem is nonconvex and difficult to solve, we further transfer it into an equivalent problem and develop a Dinkelbach iterative method to obtain the corresponding solution. Numerical results are given to verify the quick convergence of the proposed iterative method and show the superior outage throughput of the designed DPS strategy by comparing with two peer strategies designed for the linear energy harvesting (LEH) model.
