Special Session: Full-duplex communications for 5G & Beyond and IoT applications
In recent years, the fast development of wireless and mobile communication leads to the requirement of highspeed data transmission and optimization of power resources and spectrum sharing. Furthermore, 5G communication systems are comprised of a set of goals that must be achieved for future wireless networks. Also, the advent of the Internet of Things (“IoT”) allows for the extension or access of the internet to the physical world by the means of more and more numerous sensors, actuators or inter-connected equipment. This evolution operates equally well in the industrial domain (smart factory, transport, energy, …), as in the public domain (health, automation, …). It is indispensable to ensure integrity throughout the chain of transmission.
Furthermore, most communication systems are half-duplex and they use separate bands or time slots to transmit and receive signals. This leads to underutilization of available resources and inefficient flow of information between wireless systems. On the other hand, full-duplex transmission systems that transmit and receive simultaneously in the same frequency band overcome some of these issues. They have potential to increase spectral efficiency by either doubling the number of users or by doubling the communication channel capacity for each user in the same frequency interval allocated for half-duplex communications. However, the implementation of full-duplex systems is challenged by self-interference between the strong transmitted and the weak received signal at each transceiver device.
In this special session, all interesting full-duplex communication techniques are targeted: new channel codes and modulations codes schemes; digital self-interference cancellation algorithms; cooperative networks, semi-bind and blind channel adaptation algorithm; schemes based on adding interfering artificial signals (noise/jamming) to the transmitted information signals, etc...
