In this paper, a two-way relay channel is considered, where two sources transmit information to each other with the help of a half-duplex decode-and-forward (DF) relay. We investigate the energy efficiency (EE) for the DF two-way relay transmission (TWRT). The EE expression is derived first and the properties of the EE are then analyzed. An novel algorithm is proposed to find the maximal EE under the relay power constraint for the DF-TWRT. Simulation results confirm the theoretical findings of the EE for the DF-TWRT.
