Performance of Full-Duplex Signalling by Energy Buffer Equipped Energy Harvesting Nodes

Abstract

In this paper we consider full-duplex (FD) signalling between two energy harvesting (EH) devices D1 and D2. We assume that D1 and D2 are equipped with energy buffers. We consider two buffer energy management policies: on-off policy (OOP) and best-effort policy (BEP). Expressions are derived for sum throughput and outage probability. Insights are obtained on the transmit powers to be used to maximize throughput while ensuring buffer stability. The derived analytical expressions are validated by Monte Carlo simulations.
