This book is the definitive resource for in-band full-duplex (IBFD) wireless systems. IBFD technology allows devices to transmit and receive signals on the same frequency at the same time, but has intentionally been avoided in a wide range of traditional systems. This is due to the significant self-interference that is generated by a transmitter co-located with a receiver, and cannot be suppressed by traditional filters since the interfering signal is within the desired reception band. The book editor has assembled a team of leading researchers who have contributed chapters on self-interference cancellation (SIC) techniques within the propagation, analog and digital domains as well as advanced applications of IBFD that move beyond 5G and 6G communications.
One of the novel aspects of this book is that it focuses on IBFD topics that have been implemented and demonstrated in the real world. The chapter authors not only present the theoretical foundation of their work, but also validate their assumptions with measured results that can be used to set expectations for their associated SIC technique, system or application. Additionally, this uniquely allows them to share insights into the lessons learned during the prototyping process, which should help others avoid past mistakes as well as highlight problematic areas that require careful attention. These distinctive aspects make this book an excellent reference for both beginners and professionals to help propel this technology area for years to come.
The technology referred to as in-band full-duplex (IBFD) allows devices to communicate at the same time using minimal system resources. This concept is analogous to hearing a whisper across the room while you are actively shouting at the top of your lungs. The key element to making this work is the combination of various techniques that suppress your yell so that your ears do not hear it, and only listen to the other surrounding sounds. Wireless system architects are interested in incorporating this technology because it allows the same frequency channel to be used for transmission (shouting) and reception (listening), which is critical since they operate within spectrum allocations that are severely limited and thus expensive to obtain. These spectrum challenges, along with fact that IBFD can unlock applications that were previously considered impossible, will accelerate the adoption of this technology into future communications networks (including 5G and 6G cellular), military systems and other unforeseen use-cases.
This book seamlessly combines chapters by leading researchers around the world, and presents the wireless system techniques and applications that enable IBFD. It uniquely focuses on concepts that have been demonstrated in the real world, and includes practical advice and lessons learned, which makes this book an excellent reference for both beginners and professionals looking to help propel this technology area for years to come.
