With Full Duplex (FD), wireless terminal is capable of transmitting and receiving data simultaneously in the same frequency resources, however, it introduces self interference and co-channel interference. Even though various signal processing techniques are emerged to cancel the self interference, the bottleneck for FD performance in cellular systems is the cochannel interference from the other uplink and downlink signals.In this work we have studied both the uplink and downlink performances of a FD cellular network, where users employ fractional power control in uplink. We use Matern Cluster Process to model the network, which provides a tractable and realistic model to characterize the user-base station distances which are needed for uplink power control. Based on the obtained coverage probabilities, rates and their robust approximations, we show that while FD improves downlink performance, it severely hurts the uplink performance. Also, we provide a trade-off between uplink and downlink performances. Our study suggests dense deployment of low power base stations can improve the performance of FD system.

<div><div>Full duplex (FD) communication uses the same time-frequency resource elements for uplink and downlink transmissions. Compared to half-duplex (HD) systems, this improves the effective spectrum usage, but at the cost of additional self-interference and increased co-channel interference (CCI). Promising improvements in full duplex downlink performance are well established in the literature, but the improvement in uplink is marginal or even severely degraded due to strong down-link signals. This paper focuses on managing CCI in an FD network by spatially controlling downlink and uplink transmit powers. We show that uplink performance can be improved through the introduction of downlink power control, but this slightly reduces downlink performance. We introduce a distance-based user scheduling to address this reduction. Furthermore, we have also shown that optimal overall performance can be achieved by designing appropriate uplink and downlink power control factors. We used the Matern Cluster process to model the network. The analytical results we formulated is verified by extensive Monte Carlo simulations. This work is submitted to IEEE transaction on Wireless Communications. Currently it is under review.</div></div>
