Feasibility of In-band Full-Duplex Radio Transceivers with Imperfect RF Components: Analysis and Enhanced Cancellation Algorithms
In this paper we provide an overview regarding the feasibility of in-band
full-duplex transceivers under imperfect RF components. We utilize results and
findings from the recent research on full-duplex communications, while
introducing also transmitter-induced thermal noise into the analysis. This
means that the model of the RF impairments used in this paper is the most
comprehensive thus far. By assuming realistic parameter values for the
different transceiver components, it is shown that IQ imaging and
transmitter-induced nonlinearities are the most significant sources of
distortion in in-band full-duplex transceivers, in addition to linear
self-interference. Motivated by this, we propose a novel augmented nonlinear
digital self-interference canceller that is able to model and hence suppress
all the essential transmitter imperfections jointly. This is also verified and
demonstrated by extensive waveform simulations.Comment: 7 pages, presented in the CROWNCOM 2014 conferenc
Modeling and Efficient Cancellation of Nonlinear Self-Interference in MIMO Full-Duplex Transceivers
This paper addresses the modeling and digital cancellation of
self-interference in in-band full-duplex (FD) transceivers with multiple
transmit and receive antennas. The self-interference modeling and the proposed
nonlinear spatio-temporal digital canceller structure takes into account, by
design, the effects of I/Q modulator imbalances and power amplifier (PA)
nonlinearities with memory, in addition to the multipath self-interference
propagation channels and the analog RF cancellation stage. The proposed
solution is the first cancellation technique in the literature which can handle
such a self-interference scenario. It is shown by comprehensive simulations
with realistic RF component parameters and with two different PA models to
clearly outperform the current state-of-the-art digital self-interference
cancellers, and to clearly extend the usable transmit power range.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures. To be presented in the 2014 International

Key element of the proposed system is a novel class of coherent transceivers, purposely developed with a nonconventional technical approach. Indeed, they are designed and realized to avoid D/A-A/D converter stages and digital signal processing in favor of simple analog processing so that they match system, cost, and power consumption requirements of the access networks without sacrificing the overall performance. These coherent transceivers target different use case scenarios (residential, business, fixed, wireless) still keeping perfect compatibility and co-existence with legacy infrastructures installed to support gray, time division multiplexed PON systems. Moreover, the availability of coherent transceivers of different cost/performance ratios allows for deployments of different quality service grades. In this paper, we report the successful field trial of the proposed systems in a testbed where 14 UDWDM channels (and one legacy E-PON system) are transmitted simultaneously in a dark-fiber network deployed in the city of Pisa (Italy), delivering real-time and/or test traffic. The trial demonstrated filterless operations (each remote node selects individually its own UDWDM channel on a fine 6.25-GHz grid), real-time GbE transmissions (by using either fully analog or light digital signal processing), multirate transmission (1.25 and 10 Gb/s), high optical distribution network loss (18-40 dB) as well as a bidirectional channel monitoring system.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
Near-Instantaneously Adaptive HSDPA-Style OFDM Versus MC-CDMA Transceivers for WIFI, WIMAX, and Next-Generation Cellular Systems
Burts-by-burst (BbB) adaptive high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) style multicarrier systems are reviewed, identifying their most critical design aspects. These systems exhibit numerous attractive features, rendering them eminently eligible for employment in next-generation wireless systems. It is argued that BbB-adaptive or symbol-by-symbol adaptive orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) modems counteract the near instantaneous channel quality variations and hence attain an increased throughput or robustness in comparison to their fixed-mode counterparts. Although they act quite differently, various diversity techniques, such as Rake receivers and space-time block coding (STBC) are also capable of mitigating the channel quality variations in their effort to reduce the bit error ratio (BER), provided that the individual antenna elements experience independent fading. By contrast, in the presence of correlated fading imposed by shadowing or time-variant multiuser interference, the benefits of space-time coding erode and it is unrealistic to expect that a fixed-mode space-time coded system remains capable of maintaining a near-constant BER
