In a wireless energy harvesting network with an energy‐constrained decode and forward relay node, the authors propose a hybrid protocol (HP) which is a combination of power splitting relaying (PSR) and time switching relaying (TSR). The authors derive the analytical outage probability expressions of the HP over log‐normal fading channel. The numerical results show that the HP scheme significantly outperforms the PSR and TSR schemes in terms of outage probability performance.
