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
Self-Interference Cancellation with Nonlinear Distortion Suppression for Full-Duplex Systems
In full-duplex systems, due to the strong self-interference signal, system
nonlinearities become a significant limiting factor that bounds the possible
cancellable self-interference power. In this paper, a self-interference
cancellation scheme for full-duplex orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
systems is proposed. The proposed scheme increases the amount of cancellable
self-interference power by suppressing the distortion caused by the transmitter
and receiver nonlinearities. An iterative technique is used to jointly estimate
the self-interference channel and the nonlinearity coefficients required to
suppress the distortion signal. The performance is numerically investigated
showing that the proposed scheme achieves a performance that is less than 0.5dB
off the performance of a linear full-duplex system.Comment: To be presented in Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems &

Azimuthal anisotropy () of high-p and direct in Au+Au collisions at = 200 GeV
Preliminary results from the STAR collaboration of the azimuthal anisotropy
of and direct photon () at high transverse
momentum (p) from Au+Au collisions at center-of-mass energy
~GeV are presented. A shower-shape analysis is used to
select a sample free of direct photons () and a sample rich in direct
photons . The relative contribution of background in the
sample is determined assuming no associated charged particles
nearby . The of direct photons ()
at mid-rapidity () and high p (~GeV/) is extracted from those of and
neutral particles measured in the same kinematic range. In mid-central Au+Au
collisions (10-40), the of () and
charged particles () are found to be 0.12 and nearly
independent of p. The measured is positive
finite and systematically smaller than that of and charged particles
by a factor of 3. Although the large at such high
p might be partially due to the path-length dependence of energy loss,
the non-zero value of indicates a bias of the reaction
plane determination due to the presence of jets in the events. Systematic
studies are currently in progress.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Hot Quarks 2010, LaLonde Franc
