Özet

Compared with widely used half-duplex relaying, developing full-duplex (FD) relaying devices enables simultaneous transmission and reception, which can be desirable for spectrally efficient 6G Internet of Things (IoT) networks. To improve the reliability of FD relaying, MRT can be incorporated into an FD-DF relaying architecture, making the resulting scheme practical for diverse applications. In this study, critical performance metrics, such as outage probability, symbol error rate, and channel capacity, were derived for the Nakagami-m fading channel model. Numerical examples from Monte Carlo simulations corroborate the theoretical expressions and demonstrate that MRT can efficiently mitigate residual self-interference while preserving low receiver complexity. These findings provide useful insights for system designers to consider FD-DF relaying with MRT as a practical and effective solution for next-generation wireless ecosystems.
