Abstract
Conference Title: 2016 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC) Conference Start Date: 2016, April 3 Conference End Date: 2016, April 6 Conference Location: Doha, Qatar In this paper, a cooperative communications scheme with interference management is proposed for Full-Duplex (FD) multi-user, decode-and-forward (DF) relay networks. The scheme is based on a relay selection method that maximizes the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We evaluate the performance of the system using two approaches for interference management, namely, the constellation real parts (CRP) of the modulated signals, and a power adjustment technique. We derive expressions for the average outage probability of the up-link (UL) and downlink (DL) for the proposed scheme, as well as for standard halfduplex (HD), and standard FD. Numerical results are provided to validate the analysis and the performance of the proposed scheme.
