In this paper, a cooperative communication network based on energy-harvesting (EH) decode-and-forward (DF) relays is proposed. For relay nodes, there is harvest-storage-use (HSU) structure in this system. And energy can be obtained from the surrounding environment through energy buffering. In order to improve the performance of the communication system, the opportunistic routing algorithm and the generalized selection combining (GSC) algorithm are adopted in this communication system. In addition, from discrete-time continuous-state space Markov chain model (DCSMC), a theoretical expression of the energy limiting distribution stored in infinite buffers is derived. Through using the probability distribution and state transition matrix, the theoretical expressions of system outage probability, throughput and time cost of per packet are obtained. Through the simulation verification, the theoretical results are in good agreement with the simulation results.
