Half-Duplex Communication Complexity
Suppose Alice and Bob are communicating in order to compute some function f, but instead of a classical communication channel they have a pair of walkie-talkie devices. They can use some classical communication protocol for f where in each round one player sends a bit and the other one receives it. The question is whether talking via walkie-talkie gives them more power? Using walkie-talkies instead of a classical communication channel allows players two extra possibilities: to speak simultaneously (but in this case they do not hear each other) and to listen at the same time (but in this case they do not transfer any bits). The motivation for this kind of a communication model comes from the study of the KRW conjecture. We show that for some definitions this non-classical communication model is, in fact, more powerful than the classical one as it allows to compute some functions in a smaller number of rounds. We also prove lower bounds for these models using both combinatorial and information theoretic methods
All-Digital Self-interference Cancellation Technique for Full-duplex Systems
Full-duplex systems are expected to double the spectral efficiency compared
to conventional half-duplex systems if the self-interference signal can be
significantly mitigated. Digital cancellation is one of the lowest complexity
self-interference cancellation techniques in full-duplex systems. However, its
mitigation capability is very limited, mainly due to transmitter and receiver
circuit's impairments. In this paper, we propose a novel digital
self-interference cancellation technique for full-duplex systems. The proposed
technique is shown to significantly mitigate the self-interference signal as
well as the associated transmitter and receiver impairments. In the proposed
technique, an auxiliary receiver chain is used to obtain a digital-domain copy
of the transmitted Radio Frequency (RF) self-interference signal. The
self-interference copy is then used in the digital-domain to cancel out both
the self-interference signal and the associated impairments. Furthermore, to
alleviate the receiver phase noise effect, a common oscillator is shared
between the auxiliary and ordinary receiver chains. A thorough analytical and
numerical analysis for the effect of the transmitter and receiver impairments
on the cancellation capability of the proposed technique is presented. Finally,
the overall performance is numerically investigated showing that using the
proposed technique, the self-interference signal could be mitigated to ~3dB
higher than the receiver noise floor, which results in up to 76% rate
improvement compared to conventional half-duplex systems at 20dBm transmit
power values.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
Resource allocation in OFDMA networks with half-duplex and imperfect full-duplex users
Recent studies indicate the feasibility of in-band fullduplex (FD) wireless
communications, where a wireless radio transmits and receives simultaneously in
the same band. Due to its potential to increase the capacity, analyzing the
performance of a cellular network that contains full-duplex devices is crucial.
In this paper, we consider maximizing the weighted sum-rate of downlink and
uplink of a single cell OFDMA network which consists of an imperfect FD
base-station (BS) and a mixture of half-duplex and imperfect full-duplex mobile
users. To this end, the joint problem of sub-channel assignment and power
allocation is investigated and a two-step solution is proposed. A heuristic
algorithm to allocate each sub-channel to a pair of downlink and uplink users
with polynomial complexity is presented. The power allocation problem is
convexified based on the difference of two concave functions approach, for
which an iterative solution is obtained. Simulation results demonstrate that
when all the users and the BS are perfect FD nodes the network throughput could
be doubled, Otherwise, the performance improvement is limited by the inter-node
interference and the self-interference. We also investigate the effect of the
self-interference cancellation capability and the percentage of FD users on the
network performance in both indoor and outdoor scenarios.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figures, Accepted in IEEE International Conference on
