In this paper, we propose an opportunistic relaying with multiple decode-and-forward (DF) relay nodes based on interference cancelation (IC). The relay that succeeds decoding data in the former phase performs IC to decode another data in the current phase without suffering from interference caused by the selected best relay that forwards the data of the former phase. It is shown that the proposed scheme compensates for the loss of spectral efficiency caused by half duplexing relay nodes when the number of relays is large or SNR is high. In a whole systemic view, the proposed system asymptotically works as a single fullduplex transceiver. Our analytical and numerical results confirm that the proposed scheme outperforms the opportunistic single selection relaying with DF in terms of outage capacity when the number of relays is large or SNR is high.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
