Performance Analysis of Full-Duplex-MRC-MIMO With Self-Interference Cancellation Using Null-Space-Projection

In this paper, the performance analysis of a full-duplex maximum ratio combining multiple-input multiple-output (FD-MRC-MIMO) system based on equalize-and-forward (EF) relaying with self-interference-cancellation (SIC) is derived under imperfect channels state information (CSI). The performance of the system is investigated in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) over Rayleigh fading channels. Self-interference cancellation is performed by applying null-space-projection (NSP) via singular-value-decomposition (SVD). Furthermore, exact, closed-form solutions for the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) distribution and outage probability are mathematically formulated and evaluated along with the average symbol-error-rate (ASER) for M-ary phase-shift keying (M-PSK) modulation. The coefficients of the EF-relay are obtained to attain the minimum mean square error (MMSE) between the transmission symbols. Comparison of the obtained results with relevant state-of-the-art techniques suggests significant improvements in the SINR figures and system capacity.
