Cooperative communication with energy harvesting capability increases network coverage and provides a green and sustainable solution for future wireless technologies. In this article, we analyze the performance of a two-way relay network, where bidirectional information exchange between two nodes takes place via simultaneous wireless information and power transfer-enabled relay node, operating in full-duplex (FD) mode over generalized Nakagami-$m$ fading channels. Different nonlinear power amplifier (NLPA) models, such as solid-state power amplifier, traveling wave tube amplifier, and soft envelope limiter, are considered at the relay node. The effect of practical constraints, such as imperfect channel state information (CSI) and transceiver hardware impairments (HIs), is considered. Further, we consider the impact of residual self-interference (RSI) due to imperfect successive interference cancellation in the FD mode. For performance analysis, the closed-form expressions of outage probability (OP), asymptotic OP, system throughput, energy efficiency, ergodic capacity, and asymptotic ergodic capacity are derived. The diversity order of the considered network is evaluated. Further, the impact of imperfect CSI, NLPA, HIs, RSI, and other parameters are highlighted on the system performance. The performance of FD and half-duplex mode is also compared. Monte Carlo simulations confirm the accuracy of the derived closed-form expressions.
