Energy harvesting based performance analysis in Nakagami-m fading channels

Energy harvesting (EH) is an emerging technology to harvest energy from the transmitter's radio frequency (RF) signals to the receiver. In this paper, a novel closed-form expression for the outage probability (OP) and average bit error rate (ABER) based on energy harvesting are derived over Nakagami-m fading channel. Moreover, we assume the power splitting (PS) harvesting technique in our proposed system. The power splitting receiver separates the received signal into information transmission and energy harvesting receiver with a power splitter factor. Numerical results are also presented to analyse the impact of various system parameters, such as the power splitter factor and shaping parameter of the considered fading channel.
