Performance Analysis of Multi-Cell Full-Duplex Cellular Networks

On Cell Association in Multi-Tier Full-Duplex Cellular Networks

This paper addresses the cell association problem in multi-tier in-band full-duplex (FD) networks. Specifically, we consider the case of decoupled cell association (DCA) in which users are not necessarily served by the same base station (BS) for uplink and downlink transmissions. Instead, users can simultaneously associate to different BSs based on two independent weighted path-loss cell associ...

Large Antenna Analysis of Multi-Cell Full-Duplex Networks

We study a multi-cell multi-user MIMO full-duplex network, where each base station (BS) has multiple antennas with full-duplex capability supporting single-antenna users with either full-duplex or half-duplex radios. We characterize the upand downlink ergodic achievable rates for the case of linear precoders and receivers. The rate analysis includes practical constraints such as imperfect selfi...

DMT of Multi-hop Cooperative Networks - Part II: Half-Duplex Networks with Full-Duplex Performance

We consider single-source single-sink (ss-ss) multihop relay networks, with slow-fading links and single-antenna half-duplex relay nodes. While two-hop cooperative relay networks have been studied in great detail in terms of the diversitymultiplexing gain tradeoff (DMT), few results are available for more general networks. In a companion paper, we characterized end points of DMT of arbitrary ne...

Full-Duplex Cellular Networks: It Works!

Full-duplex (FD) communications with bidirectional transmitting and receiving at the same time and frequency radio resource have long been deemed a promising way to boost spectrum efficiency, but hindered by the techniques for self-interference cancellation (SIC). Recent breakthroughs in analog and digital signal processing yield the feasibility of beyond 100 dB SIC capability and make it possi...
