PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF FULL-DUPLEX DECODE-AND-FORWARD RELAY NETWORK WITH SPATIAL MODULATION

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze performance of the Full Duplex (FD) Decode-and-Forward relay network using Spatial Modulation (SM) technique, called SM-FD relay network, in the presence of Residual Self-Interference (RSI) due to imperfect Self-Interference Cancellation (SIC). Based on mathematical calculation, the exact expressions of Outage Probability (OP), Symbol Error Probability (SEP) and Ergodic Capacity of the SM-FD relay network is derived over Rayleigh fading channel. Impacts of RSI, number of received antennas and data transmission rate on the system performance are also investigated and compared with those of the SM Half-Duplex (SM-HD) relay network. Finally, the analytical results are validated by Monte-Carlo simulation.
