본 논문에서는 Type 1 relay를 이용하는 3GPP (3rd Generation Pattnership Project) LTE Long Term Evolution)-Advanced 시스템을 위한 부분 전이중 (partial full duplex) relay 기법을 제안한다. Type 1 relay는 백홀 링크 (backhaul link)와 액세스 링크 (access link)가 같은 대역을 이용하는 inband relay로 동시에 백홀 링크와 액세스 링크에서 송수신 하는 경우에 self-interference가 발생하여 수신 성능이 크게 열화되기 때문에 동시에 송수신할 수 없다. 이와 같은 특징 때문에 Type 1 relay는 eNB (evolved NodeB)가 동기 신호를 송신할 때, 자신에게 접속하고 있는 R-UE (Relay-User Equipment)에게 동기 신호를 송신해야 하는 특정에 의해서 eNB가 송신하는 동기 신호를 수신할 수 없어 셀 ID (Identity)를 검출할 수 없는 문제점을 갖는다. 따라서, 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 eNB와 Type 1 relay가 동기 신호를 송신하는 subframe에서만 Type 1 relay가 동시에 송수신하는 부분 전이중 relay 기법을 제안한다. 또한, 동시에 Type 1 relay가 백홀 링크와 액세스 링크에서 송수신하여 발생하는 self-interference를 제거하기 위하여 Type 1 relay의 송수신 안테나 사이의 공간적 분리 (geometric isolation)와 SIC (Self-Interference Cancellation) 방식을 적용하고, SIC의 성능을 높이기 위한 정확한 채널 추정 방안으로 부분 채널 추정 (partial channel estimation) 기법을 제안하며, 다양한 환경에서의 성능 평가를 통해 제안된 방식이 Type 1 relay를 이용하는 3GPP LTE-Advanced 시스템에서 매우 유용한 것을 입증하였다.

릴레이는 차세대 이동통신 시스템에서 기지국의 서비스 커버리지 영역을 확대하고 음영지역을 해소하기 위해 반드시 필요한 기술이다. 하지만, 기존의 릴레이 관련 연구는 주로 반이중 모드, 즉 서로 다른 시간 혹은 주파수에서 송수신을 수행하도록 제한하고 있다. 반이중 릴레이는 구현이 쉬운 반면 릴레이 송수신 지원 구분이 필요하기 때문에 전체 시스템 용량이 줄어드는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 안테나를 갖는 전이중 릴레이의 다중 사용자 precoding 및 sum rate 정합 기반의 전력 할당 방식을 제안한다. 전이중 릴레이는 같은 주파수에서 동시에 송수신을 수행하기 때문에 릴레이의 송수신 안테나 사이에 발생하는 자기 간섭 문제를 해결해야 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 precoding 기법을 통해 다중 사용자 MIMO 전송이 가능하면서 동시에 전이중 릴레이의 자기 간섭을 제거할 수 있다. 또한, 릴레이가 기지국으로부터 수신하는 정보량과 단말국으로 전달하는 정보량이 동일하도록 하는 조건 하에서 전체 시스템 용량을 최대화하는 전력 할당 기법을 제안한다.

다중 경로 약한 산란 (poor scattering) 전 이중 (full-duplex) 시스템에서 혼성 스케줄링을 소개한다. 제안하는 시스템은 다중 안테나를 갖는 하나의 전 이중 기지국과 수 많은 단일 안테나 반 이중 (half-duplex) 단말로 구성된다. 혼성 스케줄링은 송신기에서의 부분적 채널 정보만을 활용한다. 특별히, 상향링크 및 하향링크에서 모두 기회적 송신 기술을 사용하는 기존 스케줄링 방법과는 달리, 제안하는 기술은 하향링크에서의 랜덤 송신 빔형성 및 상향링크에서의 간섭 제거 빔형성을 결합하여 사용한다. 주요 결과로써, 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 제안한 기술이 기존 스케줄링 방법보다 특정 신호 대 잡음비 영역 이상에서 훨씬 더 우수한 합 용량 성능을 가짐을 보인다.

이제까지의 협력 인지 통신망에서는 쓰는 이들이 거의 대부분 서로 반 이중 방식으로 신호를 주고 받았다. 이 논문에서는 부 쓰는이들이 전 이중 통신 기술을 쓰는 협력 인지 통신망을 제안하고 그 성능을 간단히 살펴본다. 제안한 방식에서는 협력 인지 통신망의 부 쓰는이들이 동시 송수신 안테나를 쓰는 환경을 생각하여, 전 이중으로 통신할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안한 방식에서 이룰 수 있는 전송률을 해석적으로 얻고, 이제까지의 협력 인지 통신망보다 전송률 성능이 더 높다는 것을 수치적인 계산으로 보인다.

In-band full-duplex (IFD) communication has recently attracted a great deal of interest because it potentially provides a two-fold spectral efficiency increase over half-duplex communications. In this paper, we propose a novel digital self-interference cancelation (DSIC) algorithm for an IFD communication system in which two nodes exchange orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. The proposed DSIC algorithm is based on the least-squares estimation of a self-interference (SI) channel with block processing of multiple OFDM symbols, in order to eliminate the fundamental and harmonic components of SI induced through the practical radio frequency devices of an IFD transceiver. In addition, the proposed DSIC algorithm adopts discrete Fourier transform processing of the estimated SI channel to further enhance its cancelation performance. We provide a minimum number of training symbols to estimate the SI channel effectively. The evaluation results show that our proposed DSIC algorithm outperforms a conventional algorithm.

In-band full-duplex (IBFD) wireless communication supports symmetric dual transmission between two nodes and asymmetric dual transmission among three nodes, which allows improved throughput for distributed IBFD wireless networks. However, inter-node interference (INI) can affect desired packet reception in the downlink of three-node topology. The current Half-duplex (HD) medium access control (MAC) mechanism RTS/CTS is unable to establish an asymmetric dual link and consequently to suppress INI. In this paper, we propose a medium access control mechanism for use in distributed IBFD wireless networks, FD-DMAC (Full-Duplex Distributed MAC). In this approach, communication nodes only require single channel access to establish symmetric or asymmetric dual link, and we fully consider the two transmission modes of asymmetric dual link. Through FD-DMAC medium access, the neighbors of communication nodes can clearly know network transmission status, which will provide other opportunities of asymmetric IBFD dual communication and solve hidden node problem. Additionally, we leverage FD-DMAC to transmit received power information. This approach can assist communication nodes to adjust transmit powers and suppress INI. Finally, we give a theoretical analysis of network performance using a discrete-time Markov model. The numerical results show that FD-DMAC achieves a significant improvement over RTS/CTS in terms of throughput and delay.

In this paper, a secure transmission scheme based on the artificial noise is proposed for D2D communications underlaying the full-duplex cellular network, and a secure power allocation scheme to maximize the overall secrecy rate of both the cellular user and D2D transmitter node is presented. Firstly, the full-duplex base station transmits the artificial noise to guarantee the secure communications when it receives signals of cellular uplinks. Under this secure framework, it is found that improving the transmission power of the cellular user or the D2D transmitter node will degrade the secrecy rate of the other, although will improve itself secrecy rate obviously. Hence, a secure power allocation scheme to maximize the overall secrecy rate is presented subject to the security requirement of the cellular user. However, the original power optimization problem is non-convex. To efficiently solve it, we recast the original problem into a convex program problem by utilizing the proper relaxation and the successive convex approximation algorithm. Simulation results evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Avionic databuses fulfill a critical function in the connection and communication of aircraft components and functions such as flight-control, navigation, and monitoring. Ethernet-based avionic databuses have become the mainstream for large aircraft owning to their advantages of full-duplex communication with high bandwidth, low latency, low packet-loss, and low cost. As a new generation aviation network communication standard, avionics full-duplex switched ethernet (AFDX) adopted concepts from the telecom standard, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). In this technology, the switches are the key devices influencing the overall performance. This paper reviews the avionic databus with emphasis on the switch architecture classifications. Based on a comparison, analysis, and discussion of the different switch architectures, we propose a new avionic switch design based on a time-division switch fabric for high flexibility and scalability. This also merges the design concept of space-partition switch fabric to achieve reliability and predictability. The new switch architecture, called space partitioned shared memory switch (SPSMS), isolates the memory space for each output port. This can reduce the competition for resources and avoid conflicts, decrease the packet forwarding latency through the switch, and reduce the packet loss rate. A simulation of the architecture with optimized network engineering tools (OPNET) confirms the efficiency and significant performance improvement over a classic shared memory switch, in terms of overall packet latency, queuing delay, and queue size.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), acting as mobile base stations (BSs), can be deployed in the typical fifth-generation mobile communications (5G) scenarios for the purpose of substantially enhancing the radio coverage. Meanwhile, UAV aided underlay device-to-device (D2D) communication mode can be activated for further improving the capacity of the 5G networks. However, this UAV aided D2D communication system is more vulnerable to eavesdropping attacks, resulting in security risks. In this paper, the D2D receivers work in full-duplex (FD) mode, which improves the security of the network by enabling these legitimate users to receive their useful information and transmit jamming signal to the eavesdropper simultaneously (with the same frequency band). The security communication under the UAV coverage is evaluated, showing that the system's (security) capacity can be substantially improved by taking advantage of the flexible radio coverage of UAVs. Furthermore, the closed-form expressions for the coverage probabilities are derived, showing that the cellular users (CUs)' secure coverage probability in downlink transmission is mainly impacted by the following three factors: its communication area, the relative position with UAV, and its eavesdroppers. In addition, it is observed that the D2D users or DUs' secure coverage probability is relevant to state of the UAV. The system's secure capacity can be substantially improved by adaptively changing the UAV's position as well as coverage.

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication has received increasing attention and been studied extensively thanks to its advantages in improving spectral efficiency and energy efficiency of cellular networks. This paper proposes a novel relay selection algorithm for multi-hop full-duplex D2D communications underlaying cellular networks. By selecting the relay of each hop in a reverse manner, the proposed algorithm reduces the heavy signaling overhead that traditional relay selection algorithms introduce. In addition, the social domain information of mobile terminals is taken into consideration and its influence on the performance of D2D communications studied, which is found significant enough not to be overlooked. Moreover, simulations show that the proposed algorithm, in absence of social relationship information, improves data throughput by around 70% and 7% and energy efficiency by 64% and 6%, compared with two benchmark algorithms, when D2D distance is 260 meters. In a more practical implementation considering social relationship information, although the proposed algorithm naturally achieves less throughput, it substantially increases the energy efficiency than the benchmarks.
