Exploiting Direct Link in Two-Way Half-Duplex Sensor Network over Block Rayleigh Fading Channel: Upper Bound Ergodic Capacity and Exact SER Analysis.

Relay communication, in which the relay forwards the signal received by a source to a destination, has a massive consideration in research, due to its ability to expand the coverage, increase the capacity, and reduce the power consumption. In this paper, we proposed and investigated energy harvesting (EH) based two-way half-duplex (TWHD) relaying sensors network using selection combining (SC) over block Rayleigh fading channel. In this model, we proposed the direct link between two sources for improving the system performance. For the system performance analysis, we investigated and derived the closed-form of the exact and upper bound Ergodic capacity (EC) and the exact form of the symbol error ratio (SER). By using the Monte Carlo simulation, the correctness of the research results is verified in the influence of the main system parameters. From the discussions, we can see that the analytical and simulation agree well with each other.
