in this paper we develop a game-theoretic framework to analyze the performance of wireless networks with heterogeneous SIC capabilities and in the absence of any global information (i.e., a link does not know the exact SIC level of its neighboring link). our analysis, we observe that the range of possible SIC values a given player may take can be divided into three regions (types). In two types, either the HD or the FD strategy is dominant, while the Bayesian NE in the third type depends mainly on the probability distribution of the other player’s types. Second, the thresholds that specify the regions of various SIC types depend, among other factors, on the outage probabilities of the player’s forward and reverse links. Accordingly, we derive closed-form expressions for these thresholds under different outage scenarios.
