Abstract

        This paper considers simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) mechanisms in a relaying network with finite blocklength (FBL) codes. The reliability of the network is optimized under both a power splitting (PS) protocol and a proposed joint PS and time switching (TS) protocol. Under both protocols, we first determine the overall error probability formulation of the SWIPT-enabled two-hop transmission in the FBL regime. Subsequently, we state and solve optimization problems minimizing the overall error probability. Via numerical analysis, we show the appropriateness of our analytical model and demonstrate the performance advantage of the proposed protocol in comparison to TS and PS protocols. In addition, we provide interesting insights on the system behavior by characterizing the impact of the blocklength, transmit power and packet size on the reliability performance.
