An Investigation of Co-channel Interference Effects on One-Way Half/Full-Duplex Relaying Network

Abstract

This study seeks an answer for the system model achieves better performance whether the relay or destination terminal is affected by a finite number of co-channel interference. The investigation considers uni-directional amplify-and-forward based half/full-duplex relaying network in the system model. The investigation considers two different types of cases for the co-channel interference effects. The first case considers that only the relay terminal is affected by a finite number of co-channel interference. The second case considers that only the destination terminal is affected by a finite number of co-channel interference. Analytical, asymptotic, and intensive computer simulation results reveal that case I and case II achieve a similar outage and throughput performance.
