Full-duplex decode-and-forward relaying with joint relay-antenna selection

Abstract

This paper is concerned with wireless relay networks that employ K full-duplex (FD) decode-and-forward relays to help a source to communicate with a destination. Each FD relay is equipped with multiple antennas, some for receiving and some for transmitting. The paper considers joint relay-antenna selection schemes that are based on the instantaneous channel conditions for two cases of antenna configurations, namely fixed antenna configuration (FAC) and adaptive antenna configuration (AAC). Under FAC, the transmit and receive antennas at each relay are fixed, whereas in the case of AAC an antenna at a relay can be configured to be either a transmit or a receive antenna. In addition to equal power allocation between the source and selected relay, a power scaling approach to counteract the effect of residual self-interference is also examined. Closed-form expressions of the outage probability and average capacity are obtained and provide important insights on the system performance. The accuracy of the obtained expressions are corroborated by simulation results. In particular, it is shown that under FAC and without power scaling, the diversity order approaches K as the self-interference (SI) level gets smaller, while it approaches zero whenever the SI level is nonzero and the SNR increases without bound. Under FAC and with power scaling, the diversity order approaches K for any SI level. For the case of AAC and without power scaling, the diversity order approaches 2K for small SI level. When power scaling is applied in AAC, the diversity order approaches 2K at any SI level.

Evaluating the impact of aggregation and RTS/CTS schemes on IEEE 802.11 based Linear Wireless Ad‐Hoc Networks

“…In recent years, with the continuous advancement of communication technology, wireless multi-hop Ad Hoc networks have been widely studied. 5,6 The wireless multi-hop Ad Hoc network is particularly suitable for non-fixed networks such as the construction of temporary network communication services. Under normal circumstances, the wireless signals could be extremely fragile due to the possibly severe signal attenuation from path loss and shadow fading.…”
