In this paper, we analyze the effect of mobility on the performance of full-duplex radio. For this, we implement a full-duplex radio prototype using a software-defined radio that is powered by a battery and can thus function in mobile environments. In addition, we compare the performance of self-interference cancellation schemes for two cases considering multi-antenna based full duplex radio and circulator based full duplex radio, respectively. Finally, we show a negative effect of mobility on the self-interference cancellation performance of the full-duplex radio system, and analyze the effect of the update period of the self-interference cancellation filter on the performance. In particular, when the update period is reduced by about 1000 times, the power of self-interference is reduced by 5.7dB for circulator-based full-duplex radio and 3.1dB for both antenna-based full-duplex radio.

Recently full-duplex communication in wireless networks is enabled by the advancement of self-interference cancellation technology. Full-duplex radio is a promising technology for next-generation wireless local area networks (WLAN) because it can simultaneously transmit and receive signals within the same frequency band. Since legacy medium access control (MAC) protocols are designed based on half-duplex communication, they are not suitable for full-duplex communication. In this paper, we discuss considerations of full-duplex communication and propose a novel full-duplex MAC protocol. We conducted a simulation to measure the throughput of our MAC protocol. Through the simulation results, we can verify that significant throughput gains of the proposed full-duplex MAC protocol, thus comparing the basic full-duplex MAC protocol.

This review paper introduces recent results on interference management for full-duplex cellular systems. Interference management techniques for uplink-downlink cellular networks are frist introduced, which are closely related to those for full-duplex cellular systems. Self-interference suppression method for full-duplex radios and the corresponding modeling of full-duplex cellular systems are then explained. Even if self-interference is perfectly suppressed, there exists a new source of interference between full-duplex users for full-duplex cellular systems. Therefore, management of such user-to-user interference is of crucially importance to improve the capacity of full-duplex cellular systems. Recently, new interference management techniques for achieving the optimal sum degrees of freedom of full-duplex cellular systems have been proposed. In this review paper, these optimal interference management techniques are mainly introduced.

전이중(full-duplex) 양방향 중계 네트워크는 전이중 방식을 사용하는 중계기에서 물리 계층 네트워크 부호화(physical layer network coding) 혹은 중첩 부호화(superposition coding)을 사용하여 기존 반이중(half duplex) 중계기를 사용하는 양방향 중계 네트워크에 비해 높은 주파수 효율을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 전이중 양방향 중계 네트워크를 고려하여 전이중 방식에서 필연적으로 발생하는 루프간섭 신호의 영향을 살펴보았다. 여기에서 사용자 및 중계기는 루프간섭 신호를 제거하기 위해 루프간섭 신호를 추정한다. 하지만 루프간섭 신호를 추정할 때 추정 오류가 발생하여 수신 신호에서 루프간섭 신호를 완벽하게 제거하기는 어렵다. 모의실험에서는 이로 인해 발생할 수 있는 성능 변화를 불능 확률을 통해 분석하였다.

Two-way full-duplex relay network provides improved spectral efficiency by using either superposition coding or physical layer network coding at relays compared to conventional two-way half-duplex relay network. In this paper, we investigate the impact of residual loop interference on the performance of the two-way full-duplex relay network. Users and relays in the two-way full-duplex relay network estimate the residual loop interference in order to cancel it. However, it is difficult to perfectly cancel the residual loop interference from the received signal due to the estimation error. Numerical results show the impact of the estimation error on the outage probability of the two-way full-duplex relay network.

In this paper, we consider a full duplexing (FD) wireless cellular network where a central base station (BS) works in the FD mode while the downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) users work in the time division duplexing (TDD) mode. Since this FD system induces the inter-user interference from UL user to DL user, the main challenge for maximizing the system performances is user scheduling that makes a pair of DL user and UL user to use the same radio resource simultaneously. We formulate an optimization problem for user pairing to maximize the cell capacity and propose a suboptimal user scheduling algorithm with low complexity. This scheduling algorithm is designed in a way where the DL user with a better signal quality has a higher priority to choose its UL user that causes less interference. Simulation results show that the FD system using the proposed user scheduling algorithm achieves the optimal performance and significantly outperforms the conventional TDD system in terms of the cell capacity.

In this paper, we propose a bidirectional full duplex MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol for underwater acoustic networks. An underwater sensor node can set a back-off timer according to the priority of transmission. When the back-off timer expires, the underwater sensor node acquires a transmission opportunity. If a source node wants to send data to a destination node, it broadcasts RTS (Request-To-Send) including ID of the destination node to neighbor nodes. The destination node receiving RTS sends CTS (Clear-To-Send) to the source node to inform the bidirectional full duplex communication. After the source node receives CTS, the source node and the destination node can send the data to each other. In the underwater environment, the existing MAC protocol may take a lot of time for successful transmission of data due to long underwater propagation delay. On the other hand, the proposed bidirectional full duplex MAC protocol improves the throughput by shortening the time for successful transmission of data. In this paper, we analyze the throughput of the proposed bidirectional full duplex MAC protocol. In addition, we show that the proposed bidirectional full duplex MAC protocol has better performance in the presence of the long underwater propagation delay compared with existing MAC protocols for underwater environments.

In this paper, we employ the single channel full duplex radio for wireless local area network (WLAN) systems, and design digital interference cancellers using adaptive signal processing. When the full duplex scheme is used for WLAN systems with multiple transmit and receive antennas, some interference is caused through the feedback of transmit signals from multiple antennas. To remove the feedback interference, we derive the least mean square (LMS), normalized LMS (NLMS), and recursive least squares (RLS) algorithms based on adaptive signal processing techniques. In addition, we analyze the theoretical convergence of the proposed LMS and RLS methods. The channel capacity of full duplex radios increases by two times than that of half duplex radios, when the packet error rate (PER) performances for the two systems are identical. Through numerical simulations in WLAN systems, it is shown that the full duplex method with the proposed interference cancellers has a similar PER performance with the conventional half duplex transmission scheme.
