Can a wireless node transmit AND receive at the same time on a single band? 2

Can a wireless node transmit AND receive at the same time on a single band? Status quo: NO 3

Current wireless radios • In-band half-duplex • Full-duplex through other dimensions • E.g. different frequencies • Bandwidth is a precious resource 4

Why not full-duplex on the same band? 5

Why not full-duplex on the same band? • Very strong self-interference TX RX TX RX • ~70dB stronger for 802.15.4 • Analog to Digital converter (ADC) saturates 6

Existing Techniques • Digital cancellation: Subtracting known interference digital samples from received digital samples. ZigZag [1] , Analog Network Coding [2] etc. • Hardware cancellation: RF noise cancellation circuits with transmit signal as noise reference Radunovic et al.

ZigZag [1] , Analog Network Coding [2] etc. Ineffective if ADC is saturated • Hardware cancellation: RF noise cancellation circuits with transmit signal as noise reference Radunovic et al.
