Performance Evaluation of a Full-Duplex Relaying-Enabled Satellite Sensor Network

This paper investigates the performance of a full-duplex (FD) relaying-enabled satellite sensor network under residual loop interference, where the satellite uplink and the downlink transmissions simultaneously occur over the same frequency band. Specifically, the closed-form expressions for the outage probability and ergodic capacity of the FD relaying satellite sensor network are derived by considering residual loop interference, channel statistical property, propagation loss, geometric satellite antenna pattern, and terminal elevation angle. Simulation results show the achieved performance gains of a full-duplex relaying satellite sensor network over traditional half-duplex relaying, and highlight the impact of key system parameters on the performance of the considered FD relaying satellite sensor network
