On uplink/downlink full-duplex networks

Recent results in wireless full-duplex promise rate gains over the half-duplex counterpart when two nodes exchange messages with each other. However, when multiple full-duplex nodes operate simultaneously, the resulting network has increased internode interference compared to the half-duplex counterpart. The increased internode interference can potentially limit the rate gain achievable due to introduction of full-duplex capability. In this paper, we present new interference management strategies tha handle internode interference for full-duplex enabled network and achieve rate gains over its half-duplex counterpart.
