摘要

In conventional energy harvesting amplify-and-forward relaying, only the relay harvests energy from the source. In this paper, a new energy harvesting relaying protocol is proposed, where the source also harvests energy from the relay, in addition to the energy harvesting relay. The performances of the new protocols using two different strategies are analyzed. Numerical results show that the new protocols have certain gain over the conventional protocol.
