Outage Probability Analysis of Full-Duplex UAV-assisted Wireless System over Rician Fading Channel

Abstract

The deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) as a mobile relay is an emerging technique in cooperative wireless communication system. In this paper, we analyze the performance of UAV assisted full, half duplex (FD)(HD) cooperative communication in a dual hop relaying scenario, which consists of a base station, an energy harvesting enabled UAV as relay and a desired user. For our desired system, we derived the closed form expressions for outage probability, throughput by adopting decode and forward protocol (DF) employed over rician fading channel. We also presented the impact of self-interference on system performance in FD systems. The results shows that, performance of the system improved by increasing the rician factor (K). Finally, numerical results were plotted based on obtained expressions.
