As implementation of the in-band full duplex (IFD) transceiver becomes feasible, research interest is growing with respect to using IFD communication with cellular networks. However, the cellular network in which the IFD communication is applied inevitably suffers from an increase of the co-channel interference (CCI) due to IFD simultaneous transmission and reception. In this paper, we analyze the performance of a cellular network based on uni-directional IFD (UD-IFD) communication, wherein an IFD base station simultaneously supports downlink and uplink transmissions of half-duplex (HD) users. In addition, a multi-pair CCI cancellation (MP-CCIC) method combining CCIC and user pairing is proposed to improve the performance of the UD-IFD network. Simulation results showed that, compared to a conventional HD cellular network without using CCIC, capacity gain was not obtained in the UD-IFD cellular network. On the other hand, when applying the proposed MP-CCIC, the capacity of the UD-IFD cellular network greatly improved compared to that of an HD cellular network.

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 this paper, we describe a simultaneously transmitted jamming (ST-jamming) for bi-directional in-band full-duplex (IFD) system to improve information security at the physical layer. By exploiting ST-jamming, each legitimate user transmits data samples and jamming samples together in one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbol according to given traffic asymmetry. Regardless of the traffic difference in both directions in IFD communication, eavesdropping of confidential information is prevented in both directions simultaneously without the loss of data rate. We first propose an encoding scheme and the corresponding decoding scheme for ST-jamming to be used by the legitimate users. In addition, we study a transceiver structure of the legitimate users including a baseband modem uniquely designed for the use of ST-jamming. The leakage of confidential information at an eavesdropper is then quantified by studying the mutual information between the confidential transmit signals and the received signals of the eavesdropper. Simulation results show that the proposed ST-jamming significantly reduces the leakage of legitimate information at the eavesdropper.

본 논문은 동일대역 전이중 통신(In-band Full-Duplex: IFD) 방식에 필요한 RF/아날로그 영역에서의 자기간섭 신호의 제거회로를 설계하고, 이를 이용하여 FM 변조 신호를 송신하면서, 동시에 수신 신호의 FM 복조가 가능하도록 설계했다. 서큘레이터(circulator)를 이용하여 단일 안테나 방식으로 송수신을 동시에 가능하게 했다. 수신 회로에는 송신으로 인한 자기간섭 신호 제거를 위해, 송신 신호를 탭핑하여 벡터 변조기(vector modulator)로 위상과 크기를 제어한 후, 수신 신호에 포함된 자기간섭 신호를 제거하였다. 자기간섭 신호의 제거를 위하여 채널변화에 따른 최적의 위상과 크기를 능동적으로 제어해야 한다. 이를 위해 동위상과 직교위상 아날로그 상관기를 이용하여 송신 신호와 수신측 자기간섭 신호의 상관 계수를 구하여 상관 계수가 최소가 되도록 제어회로를 구현하였다. 무전기 모덴 칩은 SA58646을 사용하였고, 반송파는 465 MHz 주파수에 12.5 kHz 대역폭을 가지는 FM 변조신호를 사용하였다. 안테나 포트 출력 파워가 17.2 dBm일때, 모뎀 입력단에 수신되는 자기간섭 신호가 -49.2 dBm으로 측정되어 SIC(Self Interference Cancellation) 레벨은 66.4 dB로 측정되었다.
