Abstract
In this paper, considering a mixed Rician and Rayleigh fading environment, we investigate the impact of line-of-sight (LOS) path component on the outage performance of dual-hop energy harvesting (EH) amplify-And-forward (AF) relay systems. To this end, a tight asymptotic outage lower bound expression is derived, which reveals that the system diversity order is limited to one and the outage behavior decays as log(SNR)/SNR, with SNR denoting the transmit signal-To-noise ratio (SNR) at the source. In contrast, when the LOS path component in the first-hop link becomes very strong (i.e., a large Rician K factor), our analytical results show that the easing-off factor log(SNR) can be effectively eliminated, becoming the decaying rate of outage curves steeper in this case and, consequently, improving the end-To-end transmission robustness since the outage curves scale as 1/SNR at high SNR regions.
