Cooperative Rate Splitting Transmit Design for Full-Duplex-Enabled Multiple Multicast Communication Systems

This paper examines the performance of Full-Duplex Cooperative Rate Splitting(FD-CRS)with Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer(SWIPT)support in Multiple Input Single Output(MISO)networks.In a Rate Splitting Multiple Access(RSMA)multicast system with two local users and one remote user,the common data stream contains the needs of all users,and all users can decode the common data stream.Therefore,each user can receive some information that other users need,and local users with better channel conditions can use this information to further enhance the reception reliability and data rate of users with poor channel quality.Even using Cell-Center-Users(CCUs)as a cooperative relay to assist the transmission of common data can improve the average system speed.To maximize the minimum achievable rate,we optimize the beamforming vector of Base Station(BS),the common streamsplitting vector,the cooperative distributed beamvector and the strong user transmission power under the power budget constraints of BS and relay devices and the service quality requirements constraints of users.Since the whole problem is not convex,we cannot solve it directly.Therefore,we propose a low complexity algorithm based on Successive Convex Approximation(SCA)technology to find the optimal solution to the problemunder consideration.The simulation results show that FD C-RSMA has better gain andmore powerful than FD C-NOMA,HD C-RSMA,RSMA and NOMA.

Throughput Analysis of HARQ Scheme Based on Full-Duplex Two-Way AF SWIPT Relay

The simultaneous wireless information and power transfer(SWIPT)relay system is one of the emerging technologies.Xiaomi Corporation and Motorola Inc.recently launched indoor wireless power transfer equipment is one of the most promising applications.To tap the potential of the system,hybrid automatic repeat request(HARQ)is introduced into the SWIPT relay system.Firstly,the time slot structure of HARQ scheme based on full duplex two-way amplify and forward(AF)SWIPT relay is given,and its retransmission status is analyzed.Secondly,the equivalent signal-to-noise ratio and outage probability of various states are calculated by approximate simplification.Thirdly,the energy harvesting power in each state is calculated.Finally,the energy harvested-throughput sum function is constructed to characterize the performance of energy harvesting and data transmission.Simulation results show that the proposed HARQ scheme has better energy harvestedthroughput sum function than the traditional HARQ scheme.When P_(2)=22 dB,the maximum sum function is 54.86%(the proposed HARQ scheme)and 52.307%(the traditional HARQ scheme),respectively.

Iterative Phase Noise Suppression for Full-Duplex Communication Systems

Oscillator phase noise is one of the bottlenecks that limits the self-interference(SI)cancellation capability of full-duplex systems.In this paper,we propose a method for the suppression of common phase error(CPE)and intercarrier interference(ICI)induced by the phase noise in full-duplex orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM)systems.First,we regard the effect of CPE as a portion of the SI channel and perform estimation,reconstruction and elimination in the time domain.Then,the ICI signal is estimated and suppressed in the frequency domain.Additionally,by analysing the performance of proposed algorithm,we further develop an iterative mechanism to reduce the parameter estimation error and improve SI cancellation capability.Simulation results show that the proposed method has a significant SI cancellation capability improvement over the traditional SI cancellation schemes.

Secure Transmission in Cognitive Radio Networks Using Full-Duplex Technique with Outdated CSI

This paper investigates the effects of the outdated channel state information(CSI)on the secrecy performance of an underlay spectrum sharing cognitive radio networks(CRNs),where the secondary user(SU)source node(Alice)aims to transmit the trusted messages to the full-duplex(FD)aided SU receiver(Bob)with the assistance of cooperative relay(Relay).Considering the impact of feedback delay,outdated CSI will aggravate the system performance.To tackle such challenge,the collaborative zero-forcing beamforming(ZFB)scheme of FD technique is further introduced to implement jamming so as to confuse the eavesdropping and improve the security performance of the system.Under such setup,the exact and asymptotic expressions of the secrecy outage probability(SOP)under the outdated CSI case are derived,respectively.The results reveal that i)the outdated CSI of the SU transmission channel will decrease the diversity gain from min(NANR,NRNB)to NRwith NA,NRand NBbeing the number of antennas of Alice,Relay and Bob,respectively,ii)the introduction of FD technique can improve coding gain and enhance system performance.

Joint Transceiver Designs for Full-Duplex MIMO SWIPT Systems Based on MSE Criterion

For the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer(SWIPT), the full-duplex MIMO system can achieve simultaneous transmission of information and energy more efficiently than the half-duplex. Based on the mean-square-error(MSE) criterion, the optimization problem of joint transceiver design with transmitting power constraint and energy harvesting constraint is formulated. Next, by semidefinite relaxation(SDR) and randomization method, the SDRbased scheme is proposed. In order to reduce the complexity, the closed-form scheme is presented with some simplified measures. Robust beamforming is then studied considering the practical condition. The simulation results such as MSE versus signal-noise-ratio(SNR), MSE versus the iteration number, well prove the performance of the proposed schemes for the system model.

Channel Estimation for Full-Duplex Relay Transmission in Cloud Radio Access Networks

Relay in full-duplex(FD) mode can achieve higher spectrum efficiency than that in half-duplex mode,while it is crucial to suppress relay self-interference to ensure transmission quality which requires instantaneous channel state information(CSI). In this paper,the channel estimation issue in FD amplify-andforward relay networks is considered,where the training-based estimation technique is adopted. Firstly,the least square(LS) estimation is implemented to obtain composite channel coefficients of source-relay-destination(SRD) channel and relay loop-interference(LI) channel in order to assist destination in performing data detection. Secondly,both LS and maximum likelihood estimation methods are utilized to perform individual channel estimation aiming at supporting successive interference cancelation at destination. Finally,simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of both composite and individual channel estimation,and the presented ML method can achieve lower MSEs than LS solution.

A Novel Forwarding Method for Full-Duplex Two-Way Relay Networks

An estimate-and-forward(EF) scheme for single-input single-output(SISO) and multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) full-duplex two-way relay networks is proposed and analyzed. The relay estimates the received signal from two terminal nodes by a minimum mean squared error(MMSE) estimation and forwards a scaled version of the MMSE estimate to the destination. The proposed EF outperforms conventional amplify-and-forward(AF) and decode-and-forward(DF) across all signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) region. Because its computational complexity is high for relays with a large number of antennas(large MIMO) and/or high order constellations, an approximate EF scheme, called list EF, are thus proposed to reduce the computational complexity. The proposed list EF computes a candidate list for the MMSE estimate by using a sphere decoder, and it approaches the performance of the exact EF relay at a negligible performance loss. The proposed forwarding approach also could be used to other relay networks, such as half-duplex, one-way or massive MIMO relay networks.

Energy Efficient MAC Protocol for Wireless Full-Duplex Networks

The wireless full-duplex(FD) nodes can transmit and receive at the same time using the same frequency-band. Currently, the latest FD media access control(MAC) protocols mainly focus on how to convert the physical layer gains of FD nodes to the throughput gain of wireless FD networks, but pay little attention to the energy consumptions of FD nodes. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient FD MAC protocol. According to the values of self-interference cancellation coefficients corresponding to the nodes of each FD pair and the signal propagation attenuation, the proposed protocol can adaptively select the communication mode of the FD pair between the full-duplex and half-duplex. Also, the minimum transmit power for FD nodes can be obtained to achieve high energy efficiency. We develop an analytical model to characterize the performance of our protocol. The numerical results show that the proposed MAC protocol can optimize the system throughput and reduce the transmission energy consumptions of nodes simultaneously as compared with those of the existing works.

High-Performance Beamformer and Low-Complexity Detector for DF-Based Full-Duplex MIMO Relaying Networks

In this paper, we consider a full.duplex multiple.input multiple.output(MIMO) relaying network with the decode.and.forward(DF) protocol. Due to the full.duplex transmissions, the self.interference from the relay transmitter to the relay receiver degrades the system performance. We thus propose an iterative beamforming structure(IBS) to mitigate the self.interference. In this method, the receive beamforming at the relay is optimized to maximize the signal.to.interference.plus.noise.ratio(Max.SINR), while the transmit beamforming at the relay is optimized to maximize the signal.to.leakage.plusnoise.ratio(Max.SLNR). To further improve the performance, the receive and transmit beamforming matrices are optimized between Max.SINR and Max.SLNR in an iterative manner. Furthermore, in the presence of the residual self.interference, a low.complexity whitening.filter(WF) maximum likelihood(ML) detector is proposed. In this detector, a WF is designed to transform a colored interference.plus.noise to a white noise, while the singular value decomposition is used to convert coupled spatial subchannels to parallelindependent ones. From simulations, we find that the proposed IBS performs much better than the existing schemes. Also, the proposed low.complexity detector significantly reduces the complexity of the conventional ML(CML) detector from exponential time(an exponential function of the number of the source transmit antennas) to polynomial one while achieving a slightly better BER performance than the CML due to interference whitening.

Joint Spectrum Partition and Performance Analysis of Full-Duplex D2D Communications in Multi-Tier Wireless Networks

Full-duplex(FD)has been recognized as a promising technology for future 5G networks to improve the spectrum efficiency.However,the biggest practical impediments of realizing full-duplex communications are the presence of self-interference,especially in complex cellular networks.With the current development of self-interference cancellation techniques,full-duplex has been considered to be more suitable for device-to-device(D2D)and small cell communications which have small transmission range and low transmit power.In this paper,we consider the full-duplex D2D communications in multi-tier wireless networks and present an analytical model which jointly considers mode selection,resource allocation,and power control.Specifically,we consider a distance based mode selection scheme.The performance analysis of different D2D communications modes are performed based on stochastic geometry,and tractable analytical solutions are obtained.Then we investigate the optimal resource partitions between dedicated D2D mode and cellular mode.Numerical results validate the theoretical anlaysis and indicate that with appropriate proportions of users operated in different transmission modes and optimal partitioning of spectrum,the performance gain of FD-D2D communication can be achieved.

Secure Beamforming Design for SWIPT in MISO Full-Duplex Systems

This paper investigates the problem of bi-directional secure information exchange for a multiple-input single-output(MISO)broadcast channel in presence of potential and external eavesdroppers capable of decoding the confidential messages.Specifically,a multi-antenna base station(BS)simultaneously sends wireless information and power to a set of dual-antenna mobile stations(MSs)using power splitters(PSs)in the downlink and receives information in the uplink in full-duplex(FD)mode.We address the joint design of the receiver PS ratio and the transmit power at the MSs,the artificial noise covariance,and the beamforming matrix at the BS in order to guarantee the individual secrecy rate and energy harvesting constraints at each receiver,and the signal-tointerference plus noise ratio(SINR)at the BS and MSs.Using semidefinite relaxation(SDR)technique,we obtain solution to the problem with imperfect channel state information(CSI)of the self-interfering channels.Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of our proposed scheme.

Optimization of energy efficiency for the full-duplex massive MIMO systems

The energy efficiency（EE） for the full-duplex massive multi-input multi-output（MIMO） system is investigated. Given the transmit powers of both the uplink and the downlink, the closed-form solutions of the optimal number of antennas and the maximum EE are achieved in the high regime of the signal-to-noise ratio（SNR）. It is shown that the optimal number of antennas and the maximum EE gets larger with the increase in user numbers. To further improve the EE, an optimization algorithm with low complexity is proposed to jointly determine the number of antennas and the transmit powers of both the uplink and the downlink. It is shown that, the proposed algorithm can achieve the system performance very close to the exhaustive search.

Tradeoffs in Covert Wireless Communication with a Controllable Full-Duplex Receiver

This paper investigates the tradeoff of the communication link and the eavesdropping link in covert communication in the presence of a full-duplex(FD)receiver.When a warden(Willie)attempts to detect the signal transmitted from a legitimate transmitter(Alice),the controllable FD receiver(Bob)can transmit with random power to impose interference uncertainty to Willie and force it to make an incorrect decision.To maximize the average transmission rate(ATR)of Alice-Bob and the average covert probability(ACP)for Willie,we propose a multi-objective optimization framework to optimize Bob’s power uncertainty range(PUR)and spatial position jointly,subject to the sufficient condition for covert communication and the none-deployed-zone(NDZ).Due to the presence of multiple optimization objectives and nonconvex constraints,the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II(NSGA-II)is utilized to explore the Pareto front and to give a set of solutions that reflect tradeoffs between the two conflicting objectives.Simulation results reveal that the solutions determined by the NSGA-II have larger values for both ATR and ACP than the other two baselines.Simulations also show the positive effect of the width of the PUR of Bob on the Pareto front.

A physical layer security scheme for full-duplex communication systems with residual self-interference and non-eavesdropping CSI

We discuss the physical layer security scheme in the Full-Duplex(FD)MIMO point-to-point two-way communication system with residual self-interference,in which legitimate nodes send confidential information and null space Artificial Noise(AN)while receiving information.Because the Channel State Information(CSI)of the eavesdropper is unavailable,we optimize the covariance matrices of the information signal as well as the allocation of the antenna for transmitting and receiving to minimize the signal power consumption under the target rate constraint.As a result,the power of AN is maximized within the limit of total power,so the interception capability of the eavesdropper is suppressed as much as possible.Since self-interference cannot be completely eliminated,the optimization process of one legitimate node depends on the optimization result of the other.By substituting self-interference power in the secrecy rate formula with its average value,the joint optimization process at the two nodes is transformed into two separate and solvable optimization processes.Then,the Water-Filling Algorithm(WFA)and bisection algorithm are used to get the optimal covariance matrices of the signal.Furthermore,we derive the theoretical lower bound of ergodic achievable secrecy rate under rayleigh channels to evaluate the performance of the scheme.The simulation results show that the theoretical derivation is correct,and the actual achievable rate is very close to the target rate,which means that the approximation in the optimization is feasible.The results also show that secrecy transmission can be realized because a considerable secrecy rate can be achieved.

Full-duplex prototype based on joint passive and digital cancellation method

Recent research shows that it is possible to achieve the full-duplex system by cancelling strong self-interference signals, which can be divided into three classes respectively, i.e., passive cancellation, active cancellation and digital cancellation. This pa- per tries to achieve the full-duplex system without using active cancellation, thus a full-duplex system using a joint mechanism based on a novel passive cancellation method and a novel digital cancellation method is proposed. Therein, a good antenna place- ment guided by the theory of the antenna electromagnetic field for the passive cancellation is presented. For the proposed digital can- cellation method, unlike previous separate mechanisms, it is de- signed by using the recursive least square （RLS） algorithm jointly with passive cancellation. The self-interference channel state in- formation （CSI） is transferred as the input of digital cancellation to balance the performance and the complexity. Experimental results show that the proposed self-interference cancellation mechanism can achieve about 85 dB which is better than the previous re- search. Meanwhile, this design provides a better performance compared with half-duplex with both line-of-sight channel and non- line-of-sight channel.

Energy-Efficient Full-Duplex UAV Relaying with Trajectory Optimization and Power Control in Maritime Communication Environments

This paper solves an energy-efficient optimization problem of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) assisted full-duplex mobile relaying in maritime communication environments.Taking the speed and the acceleration of the UAV and the information-causality constraints into consideration,the energy-efficiency of the system under investigation is maximized by jointly optimizing the UAV’s trajectory and the individual transmit power levels of the source and the UAV relay nodes.The optimization problem is non-convex and thus cannot be solved directly.Therefore,it is decoupled into two subproblems.One sub-problem is for the transmit power control at the source and the UAV relay nodes,and the other aims at optimizing the UAV s flight trajectory.By using the Lagrangian dual and Dinkelbach methods,the two sub-problems are solved,leading to an iterative algorithm for the joint design of transmit power control and trajectory optimization.Computer simulations demonstrated that by conducting the proposed algorithm,the flight trajectory of the UAV and the individual transmit power levels of the nodes can be flexibly adjusted according to the system conditions,and the proposed algorithm can achieve signiflcantly higher energy efficiency as compared with the other benchmark schemes.

On the performance of full-duplex non-orthonogal multiple access with energy harvesting over Nakagami-m fading channels

A cooperative full-duplex(FD)non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)network is consid-ered,in which a source communicate with multiple users via multiple energy harvesting(EH)FD relays.Based on this structure,a novel relay selection scheme is proposed over Nakagamim fading channels by considering both the channel state information(CSI)and the energy statuses of relays.A finite Markov chain is adopted to capture the evolution of relay batteries and simplify the performance analysis by making some reasonable assumptions.General closed-form expressions of the outage probability and the ergodic sumrate are derived.All the theoretical results are validated by Monte-Carlo simulations.The impacts of various system parameters,such as the number of relays,the self-interference(SI)at the involved relay and battery size,on the performance are extensively investi-gated.It is shown that the usage of NOMA with FD relaying outperforms the half-duplex(HD)-NO-MA and conventional orthogonal multiple access(OMA)network when the self-interference is not too large.

A Full-Duplex PON with Hybrid 64/16/4QAM OFDM Downlink and Hybrid 16/8/QPSK OFDM Uplink

In the context of next-generation optical access networks beyond 10 G, for high SE and flexible dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA), the scheme of hybrid 64/16/4QAM-OFDM signal for downlink transmission and hybrid 16/8/QPSK-OFDM signal for uplink transmission is successfully proposed and experimentally presented in a full-duplex PON based on OFDM system. Here, for the uplink, in order to unit management of the optical line terminal (OLT) and reduce cost, the optical source functioned as the optical subcarrier at optical network units (ONUs) is from OLT in the central station. Moreover, there is an external cavity laser (ECL) with center frequency of 193.2 THz not only employed as optical modulated signal but also acted as LO signal. Our simulation results show that bit error ratio (BER) under hardware detection forward error correction has been successfully gained after 20 km of SSMF transmission. It is observed that the receiver sensitivity of multilevel PSK (M-PSK) is obviously larger than that of the M-QAM in this measurement scheme.

In Band Full Duplex (IBFD) Technology for Next Generation Wireless Networks: A Survey in Cellular Networks

Next-Generation(NextG)wireless communication networks with their widespread applications require high data rates,seamless connectivity and high quality of service(QoS).To cope up with an unprecedented rise of data hungry applications,users demand more spectral resources imposing a limitation on available wireless spectrum.One of the potential solutions to address the spectrum scarce issue is to incorporate in band full duplex(IBFD)or full duplex(FD)paradigm in next generation networks including 5G new radio(NR).Recently,FD has gained the research interest in cellular networks for its potential to double the wireless link capacity and enhancing spectral efficiency(SE).In half duplex(HD)cellular networks,base stations(BSs)can either perform uplink(UL)or downlink(DL)transmission at a particular time instant leading to reduced throughput levels.Due to the advancement in the self interference reduction(SIR)techniques,full duplex base stations(FD-BSs)can be employed to allow simultaneous UL and DL transmissions at the same time–frequency resources as compared to its HD counterpart.It ideally achieves twice the throughput without any additional complexity at user-equipment(UE).This paper covers a detailed survey on FD cellular networks.A series of SIR approaches,UE-UE mitigation techniques are summarized.Various existing MAC protocols and antenna architectures for FD cellular networks are outlined.An overview of security aspects for FD in cellular networks is also presented.Lastly,various open issues and possible research directions are brought up for FD cellular networks.
