	abstract = {In this paper, the performance analysis of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) using time switching (TS) protocol-based amplify-and-forward (AF) dual-hop mixed radio-frequency/free-space optic (RF/FSO) coded and uncoded communication system (CC and UC) is investigated. Specifically, we look at using the One-Step Majority-Logic Decodable (OSMLD) codes at the source and a majority logic decoding algorithm (MLGD) at the destination, jointly with the use of maximal-ratio combining and SWIPT/TS techniques at the relay. Furthermore, the RF link undergoes Nakagami-m model, while the second-hop is subject to M\&$\#$x00E1;laga-M atmospheric turbulence with the effect of pointing errors. Closed-form and asymptotic formulations for the average bit error probability (ABEP) are obtained in terms of the system parameters for both CC and UC scenarios in addition of the average channel capacity analysis. Computer-based Monte Carlo simulations were used to numerically validate all of the obtained mathematical formulations. Expectedly, it is shown that significant coding gains are achieved using OSMLD codes in comparison with UC. In addition, above a specific threshold of energy efficiency, the system performance gets steady in the high signal-to-noise-ratio regime. Moreover, the decoding method used in this work has been shown to be suitable for the SWIPT/TS-assisted RF/FSO coded AF cooperative communication system where high performance alongside low computational complexity are required.

	abstract = {This paper investigates the intercept probability (IP) performance for a dual-hop multi-secondary user (SU) underlay cognitive-radio networks. Whereby, the relay R is self-powered by harvesting energy from secondary sources using the time switching variant (TS) of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) protocol. Single-antenna SUs are transmitting data to multi-antennas end-user D, performing maximal-ratio combining (MRC) diversity technique, through R in presence of (i) a primary network composed of a primary transmitter (PUt) and receiver (PUr) pair, and (ii) a passive eavesdropper at each hop (i.e., E1 and E2), attempting to overhear the communication. Moreover, we suppose that the second eavesdropper has multiple antennas and employs the MRC technique, that the relay employs the Decode-and-Forward relaying protocol, that the two hops are subject to the Rayleigh fading model, and that the channel state information is fully known at both D and E2. Because of the underlying strategy, the SUs are constantly modifying their transmit powers to prevent interference with primary users. A closed-form expression of the IP is obtained by taking into consideration the correlation between the secrecy capacities for both hops. The impact of other essential factors on IP, such as the transmit power of sources, the fading severity parameter, and the maximum tolerable interference power (MTIP), is also investigated. Specifically, we want to know if the energy harvester (i.e., relay) might improve the security of such a system even more for low MTIP or transmit power of SUs. Monte Carlo simulations verify all of the obtained results, and valuable insights into the secrecy of the considered system are achieved. IEEE},
