Outage Analysis for Active Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-Enhanced Wireless Powered Communication Networks
arXiv:2401.02083
Abstract
Wireless powered communication (WPC) involves the integration of energy harvesting and data transmission. This allows devices to communicate without constant battery replacements or wired power sources. Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) can dynamically manipulate radio signals. In this paper, we explore the use of active elements to mitigate double-fading challenges inherent in RIS-aided links. We enhance the reliability performance for an energy-constrained user by combining active RIS and WPC. The theoretical closed-form analysis, which includes transmission rate, harvested energy, and outage probability, provides valuable insights that inform parameter selection.
