Abstract: The outage probability in a large-scale cooperative relaying system based on simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is investigated. A relay-assisted cooperative transmission protocol is proposed in which the relays that can decode the signal from the sources and are located in a relaying area become the potential relays, and are dedicated to assist the information transmission from the sources to the receivers. The outage probability is analyzed and the comparison is made among the direct link, the relay-only link, and the cooperative link. Simulation results are provided to validate our theoretical analysis.

Key words: cooperative network, energy harvesting, outage probability, relay selection strategies
