Commun. Netw."],"abstract":"<jats:p>This paper analyzes the channel estimation of rate splitting multiple access (RSMA) wireless network through the full-duplex amplify-and-forward (AF) relay. Basically, full-duplex transmission can improve temporal efficiency, however the loop interference is an unavoidable problem that occurs in the strong user of this proposed network. The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is used to provide high data rate communication, assuming the presence of phase noise (PN) in local oscillators. Using the least square (LS) estimate, the channel coefficients of the proposed RSMA relay network are estimated. In addition, convex optimization techniques are applied to estimate the phase noise components of this network. The problem is formulated by optimizing phase noise under transmit power constraints. We analyze the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the proposed network under binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation and 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). Simulation results demonstrate that channel estimation achieves better performance after the PN compensation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/frcmn.2025.1567879","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,3]],"date-time":"2025-10-03T05:29:45Z","timestamp":1759469385000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Channel Estimation of full-duplex relay-assisted RSMA-OFDM based wireless networks"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Urvashi","family":"Chaudhary","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samikkannu","family":"Rajkumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dushantha Nalin K.","family":"Jayakody","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"83","DOI":"10.52866\/ijcsm.2023.02.02.007","article-title":"A new approach to improve transmitting and receiving timing in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems","volume":"4","author":"Abed","year":"2023","journal-title":"Iraqi J.
