Stochastic Geometry Analysis of Receiver Diversity in Cellular Networks with SWIPT

In this paper, we study the feasibility of receiver
diversity for application to downlink cellular networks, where
low-energy devices are equipped with information decoding and
energy harvesting receivers for simultaneous wireless information
and power transfer. We study several options that are based on
selection combining and maximum ratio combining. Monte Carlo
simulations are used to validate our findings and to discuss the
trade-offs that emerge in cellular networks with simultaneous
wireless information and power transfer.
