The opportunistic full‐/half‐duplex relaying schemes are studied where the effects of imperfect channel state information (CSI) and transmit imperfection are taken into account. The opportunistic schemes with different levels of channel knowledge, that is, the scheme with CSI at the transmitter (CSIT), the scheme with CSI at the receiver (CSIR) and the scheme with only statistical CSI, are proposed. Power adaption (PA) schemes with different levels of channel knowledge are presented and combined with the opportunistic schemes to further improve the system performance. The opportunistic schemes are evaluated in the term of average capacity. The author's results show that the opportunistic scheme with CSIR achieves comparative performance to the scheme with CSIT when the PA is not used. Moreover, it is shown that the choice of full‐duplex relaying becomes more attractive when the quality of estimation for desired channels degrades. However, the converse is true as the quality of estimation for echo interference channel degrading or the power of transmit noise increasing.
