In-Band Full-Duplex Technology: Techniques and Systems Survey

In-band full-duplex (IBFD) technology can enable unique system capabilities and network architectures by allowing devices to transmit and receive on the same frequency at the same time. While previously considered impossible, this ability can now be used to optimize resource sharing within the crowded frequency spectrum for various communication systems, including 5G new radio. The potential of these IBFD systems can only be realized if each device incorporates a sufficient number of self-interference cancellation techniques to ensure that its receivers do not saturate. This tutorial survey offers the most comprehensive collection to date of these techniques and discusses how all of them can be implemented…
