Summary Various sectors are likely to carry a set of emerging applications while targeting a reliable communication with low latency transmission. To address this issue, upon a spectrally‐efficient transmission, this paper investigates the performance of a 1 full‐dulpex relay system and considers for that purpose, 2 basic relaying schemes, namely, the symbol‐by‐symbol transmission, i.e., amplify‐and‐forward and the block‐by‐block transmission, i.e., selective decode‐and‐forward. The conducted analysis presents an exhaustive comparison, covering both schemes, over 2 different transmission modes, i.e., the noncombining mode where the best link, direct, or relay link is decoded and the signals combining mode, where direct and relay links are combined at the receiver side. While targeting latency purpose as a necessity, simulations show a refined results of performed comparisons and reveal that amplify‐and‐forward relaying scheme is more adapted to combining mode, whereas the selective decode‐and‐forward relaying scheme is more suitable for noncombining mode.
