FAS-assisted Wireless Powered Communication Systems
Fluid Antenna System (FAS) is recognized as a promising technology for enhancing communication performance. In this context, we explored the potential of FAS-assisted wireless powered communication systems. Specifically, the transmitter, equipped with FAS, harvests the radio frequency (RF) signal from a power beacon and utilizes the harvested energy for data transmission to the receiver. To evaluate the performance of the considered systems, we derive both the analytical and asymptotic expressions of the outage probability. Simulation results indicate that the diversity of the considered network closely aligns with the number of ports. Besides, it is also revealed that the port selection criteria based solely on single-hop configurations yield a diversity order of only one.
