Title
Successive Two-Way Relaying for Full-Duplex Users With Generalized Self-Interference Mitigation
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel successive two-way relaying (STWR) system that uses a pair of conventional half-duplex (HD) relays to mimic a full-duplex two-way relay (FD-TWR). Although classical FD-TWR is spectral efficient and expands cell coverage, the proposed STWR utilizes the existing HD infrastructure to boost the FD implementation and offers bi-directional data exchange and low-complexity residual self-interference (RSI) mitigation. To formulate STWR, we develop a unified signal model to facilitate the mitigation of the generalized self-interference (GSI). GSI consists of back-propagating interference due to two-way relaying, RSI of FD sources and inter-relay interference caused by the pairs of HD relays. Because the GSI channel matrix has a distinct row linearity, we propose an efficient digital approach to remove the GSI and design two low-complexity algorithms. These algorithms avoid RSI channel estimation, full-rank matrix, and complex matrix computation. Our analysis and simulations show that: 1) the proposed STWR achieves the multiplexing gain of the true FD-TWR; 2) the distance between the two HD relays should be optimized to achieve the highest spectral efficiency; and 3) the STWR system with two algorithms can achieve a diversity order of one or two, respectively. Therefore, the STWR concept achieves a flexible tradeoff between performance and complexity, potentially enabling large-scale relay deployments.
