For the purpose of exposition, we study the traditional two-hop communication system for delay limited (DL) and delay tolerant (DT) relaying networks over fading channels, in which the source node transmits with power drawn from energy harvesting (EH) sources and the relay transmits with conventional non-EH sources. We address the throughput maximization problem for the proposed system model for DL and DT cases. We find that the optimal power allocation algorithm for the single-hop communication system with EH constraints, namely, recursive geometric water-filling (RGWF), can be utilized as a guideline for the design of the two-hop system. We first introduce RGWF algorithm and we show the advantages of the geometric approach in eliminating the complexity of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) condition as well as providing a closed-form and exact solutions to the proposed problem. Based on the RGWF algorithm, we propose offline joint power allocation and transmission time scheduling schemes for DL relaying network and DT relaying network. We also propose efficient online resource allocation schemes for both relays’ cases. The performance of the proposed schemes is evaluated via simulation and the results demonstrate that a network with delay tolerant ability provides better performance in term of throughput.
