Recent wireless testbed implementations have proven that full-duplex communication is in fact possible and can outperform half-duplex systems. Many of these implementations modify existing halfduplex systems to operate in full-duplex. To realize the full potential of full-duplex, radios need to be designed with self-interference in mind. In our work, we use a novel patch antenna prototype in an...

This thesis is devoted to studying two wireless relay network models, namely wireless tandem multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) relay networks and wireless two-hop multicast relay networks. Regarding wireless tandem MIMO relay networks, we develop a systematic approach to analyze their fundamental diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) under the assumption that the relays implement a class of...

This paper considers a full-duplex two-way relaying (FD-TWR) system, where two terminals transmit and receive simultaneously with the help of a full-duplex relay node. We propose the transmission scheme for decode-and-forward (DF) protocol using the differential binary phase-shift keying (DBPSK) modulation to analyse the bit error ratio (BER), which do not need the channel state information (CS...

Full-duplex Wireless: Design, Implementation and Characterization. by Melissa Duarte One of the fundamental assumptions made in the design of wireless networks is that the wireless devices have to be half-duplex, i.e., they cannot simultaneously transmit and receive in the same frequency band. The key deterrent in implementing a full-duplex wireless device, which can simultaneously transmit and...
