On Second-Order Statistics of Full-Duplex Relaying

Although the outage probability of full-duplex relaying communications has been extensively investigated, its outage rate and duration—crucial to the design of effective signaling schemes—remain an open problem. Herein we narrow this gap by analyzing a full-duplex, variable-gain transparent relaying protocol operating in a standard (Nakagami- $m$ ) fading environment. We obtain exact as well as as...
