In-band full-duplex (IBFD) communications has the potential to nearly double the spectrum efficiency of existing 5G communications. Digital signal processing to mitigate self-interference is one way to realize this full-duplex capability. However, the aggregated wideband nature of 5G coupled with the potential for large delay spreads and short coherence times makes the realistic implementation of such an IBFD processor challenging. In this paper, we address the architectural considerations and describe the practical implementation of a real-time IBFD digital processor and its performance when operating on wideband data collected in a highly dynamic environment.INDEX TERMS Adaptive filters, least mean square methods, radio transceivers, radio communication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
