Spectral-Efficient Bidirectional Decode-and-Forward Relaying for Full-Duplex Communication

As a benefit of sophisticated interference cancelation techniques, full-duplex (FD) transceiver design may become feasible, even possibly on the aggressive time-scale of fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication systems. Hence, the authors further develop the recent bidirectional relaying [i.e., the two-way half-duplex (HD) relaying] aided cooperative network to its more radical counterpart, which entirely consists of FD entities for the sake of adapting to emerging FD communication scenarios. In more detail, the proposed bidirectional relaying-aided FD network operates in a decode-and-forward (DF) style and exploits the advanced network coding (NC) concept. The authors analyze its achievable error-free data rate, where the effects of both the self-interference (SI) and of the geographic location of the relay node (RN) are evaluated. Furthermore, the potential variations of the networking scenario are also taken into account. Based on this theoretical analysis, the optimum rate allocation scheme maximizing the system's error-free data rate is found. The authors' results demonstrate that a significant spectral efficiency gain is achieved by the proposed system.
