Abstract
We analyze the ergodic capacity of a dual-hop full duplex amplify-and-forward (AF) vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) cooperative relaying system over Nakagami-m fading channels. In this context, the impacts of self-interference (SI) at the relay and co-channel interference (CCI) at the destination are taken into account in this analysis. Precisely, based on the analysis of the moment generating function (MGF) of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), new exact and lower bound expressions for the ergodic capacity are derived. The ergodic capacity upper bound is also derived based on the asymptotic outage probability of the approximated SINR. Monte-Carlo simulation results are presented to corroborate the derived analytical results. Our results show the significant impact of the considered interferences on the system performance. It is shown that the ergodic capacity is degraded when the average SI at the relay and/or the average CCI at the destination is increased. This highlights the importance of taking these phenomena into account in the performance evaluation in order to assess the practical limit of full duplex relaying (FDR) cooperative wireless communications. Interestingly, it is also observed that FDR with SI and CCI still shows a higher ergodic capacity than the interference-free half duplex relaying, especially at medium to high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).

We consider an FDR network where the source communicates with the destination via an AF full duplex relaying including SI and co-channel interference (CCI) at the relay and destination nodes
We presented a comprehensive framework for the ergodic capacity evaluation of FDR in vehicular communications
Summary
Full duplex relaying techniques have recently become an interesting research area due to their ability to increase the spectral efficiency compared to half duplex relaying [1]. We present a comprehensively analytical method in obtaining closed-form expressions for the exact, lower and upper bonds of ergodic capacity of V2V FDR cooperative wireless networks used AF relaying technique over i.n.i.d. Nakagami-m fading channels. We derive a closed form expression of the exact ergodic capacity of the equivalent end-to-end signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of FD AF relaying over Nakagami-m fading channels under the effects of SI at the relay and of CCI at the destination. We further derive a closed form expression for the ergodic capacity upper bound based on the asymptotic outage probability of the aforementioned system. The exact, lower bound, and upper bound of the ergodic capacity expressions of the proposed system are derived, and Section 5 presents the corresponding simulation results.
