Performance analysis of full-duplex relaying over Rayleigh-Rician fading channels

Abstract

In this paper, a multiple full-duplex relaying network using partial relay selection operating is investigated over mixed Rayleigh-Rician asymmetric fading environment. The first hop (source-relay) and the second hop (relay-destination) are subjected to Rayleigh and Rician fading respectively. Simulation results are provided for outage probability (OP) and bit error rate (BER) to enable building strong foundations for cooperative relaying communications design and optimization.
