Performance Analysis of Energy Constrained Cognitive Full-Duplex Generalized Network Coding Scheme

We evaluate the performance of an energy con- strained cognitive full-duplex network coding based scheme. The secondary cooperative network is composed of two energy- constrained full-duplex users that cooperate to transmit their independent information to a common destination. The secondary users do not have sources of energy and they harvest energy from the signals transmitted by the primary user. We show through theoretical and numerical results that the proposed energy harvesting cognitive full-duplex scheme has the best performance in terms of outage probability, when compared with energy constrained half-duplex network coding scheme as well as to the direct non-cooperative transmission.
