This paper studies the outage performance for a SWIPT-based decode-and-forward (DF) FD relaying network consisting of a single-antenna source S, a two-antenna relay R, and a multi-antenna destination D. Specifically, we propose four protocols, namely static time-switching factor with selection combining (STSF-SC), static time-switching factor with maximal ratio combining (STSF-MRC), optimal dynamic time-switching factor with selection combining (ODTSF-SC), and optimal dynamic time-switching factor with maximal ratio combining (ODTSF-MRC) to fully investigate the outage performance of the proposed system. In particular, the optimal time-switching factor from the ODTSF-SC and ODTSF-MRC methods is designed to maximize the total received data at the destination. In this context, we derive exact closed-formed expressions for all schemes in terms of the outage probability (OP). Finally, the Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to corroborate the theoretical analysis\u2019s correctness and the proposed schemes\u2019 effectiveness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21113847","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,2]],"date-time":"2021-06-02T21:23:41Z","timestamp":1622669021000},"page":"3847","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Performance Enhancement for Full-Duplex Relaying with Time-Switching-Based SWIPT in Wireless Sensors Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Phu Tran","family":"Tin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electronics Technology, Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City 700000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2286-6652","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tan N.","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wireless Communications Research Group, Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City 700000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6328-3103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dinh-Hieu","family":"Tran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), The University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg L-1111, Luxembourg"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5135-7980","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miroslav","family":"Voznak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, VSB-Technical University of Ostrava, 17.
