Popis: In this paper, we consider a multi-pair two-way full-duplex relaying system with multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) users. Each pair of users exchange information with the aid of a massive MIMO amplify-and-forward (AF) relay, and correlation between the antennas both at the users as well as the relay is considered. The direct link between all user nodes is assumed to be non-negligible, which is suitable for practical urban scenarios. The low-complexity transceiver design at the relay based on maximum ratio combining/maximum ratio transmission (MRC/MRT) processing is presented. The performance of the system is evaluated in terms of the achievable sum-spectral efficiency under two communication schemes. The first scheme attempts to make use of the joint benefits of the relayed and direct links, while in the second scheme the direct link is considered as interference. Comparison analysis show that the first scheme outperforms the second in the presence of a strong direct link. Moreover, the detrimental effect of spatial correlation between the antennas at each user node is investigated.
