Outage analysis of full duplex relaying with two decode-and-forward relays

In this paper the outage performance of a dual hop decode and forward (DF) cooperative system is analyzed with two full duplex relays. We derive the closed form expression for the outage probability at the destination considering flat, independent but not necessarily identical Nakagami-m fading channels. The effect of the echo-interference between the transmitting and receiving antennas of the relays is analysed. The echo-interference channel is also modeled with Nakagami-m fading distribution to incorporate the possible line of sight component between the transmitting and receiving antennas of the relays.
