Abstract
Dual-hop relay communication systems have received extensive research attention due to their property of improving system reliability, spectral and power efficiency. RF wireless power transfer has also become a popular green technology for remote supply of energy to communication devices. In this paper a RF wireless power transfer enabled dual hop relay system is analysed over generalised fading scenarios. A closed form expression is derived for the outage probability of the decode and forward as well as amplify and forward systems valid for all fading scenarios. Based on this analysis, the optimum design parameter settings for the system are also presented which serve as reference point for measuring the outage performance of other variant of the generalised system. The numerical results obtained from derived expressions are compared with Monte-Carlo simulations and are found to be in excellent agreement with each other.
