Abstract

In this paper, a new relaying scheme, referred to as space full-duplex max-max relay selection (SFD-MMRS) is proposed. SFD-MMRS uses relay selection and half-duplex (HD) relays with buffers to mimic full-duplex (FD) relaying. It allows the selection of different relays for reception and transmission, which in turn enables simultaneous reception and transmission. With SFD-MMRS the pre-log factor 1 over 2 is removed from the capacity expression and better performance in terms of throughput is achieved compared to the existing schemes. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the capacity of the proposed scheme for a decode-and-forward (DF) protocol in Rayleigh fading. Our simulation results show that the capacity of the proposed scheme with HD relays exceeds twice the capacity of the best relay selection (BRS) scheme with HD relays. © 2012 IEEE.
