Abstract :
[en] This letter investigates the performance of thesatellite-terrestrial networks (STN), where a satellite tries totransmit information to a ground user through the help of mul-tiple decode-and-forward relays and the existence of co-channelinterference sources. In particular, the full-duplex technique andpartial relay selection are applied at the relay to increase the totalthroughput at the destination, enhance the system reliability, andreduce the complexity. In this context, the outage probability (OP)is computed in a closed-form expression. Numerical results areprovided to confirm the accuracy of the proposed mathematicalframework. Our findings illustrate that the outage performancecan be effectively enhanced by increasing either number of relaysor transmit power.
