Abstract

This work is devoted to the outage probability analysis of full-duplex (FD) regenerative relay systems over multipath fading channels. Unlike the majority of analyses that assume basic symmetric fading conditions, the present work considers asymmetric generalized fading conditions, which are more realistic in practical communications scenarios. To this end, we assume that the source-relay path is subject to \kappa-\mu multipath fading conditions, that can also account for \textit{line-of-sight} communications, whereas the source-to-destination and relay-to-destination paths are subject to \eta {-}\mu fading conditions that typically hold for \textit{non-line-of-sight} communications. Novel analytic expressions are derived for the outage probability (OP) of the considered FD as well as for the corresponding half-duplex (HD) relay case for comparisons. These expressions are given in closed-form and have a tractable algebraic representation which renders them convenient to handle both analytically and numerically. Based on this, they are subsequently employed in analyzing the corresponding performance for different communication scenarios. It is shown that the OP of the FD relay system is highly dependent upon the severity of fading and that its performance outperforms significantly the corresponding HD performance as the spectral efficiency increases.
