Utilizing multiple full-duplex relays in wireless systems with multiple packet reception

Relay nodes with physical layer cooperation have been used extensively to assist users´ transmissions in wireless networks. This network level cooperation has been lately been gaining popularity and analytical expressions of the performance of a network with up to two relay nodes exist in recent literature. In this work, we give simulation results outlining the potential network level benefits of using multiple full-duplex relay nodes. We examine configurations where multiple full-duplex transceivers offer consistent improvement and provide guidelines on using them different network conditions.
