General information

Short Summary
In-Band Full Duplex (IBFD) radio architecture, which can convert an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based half-duplex (HD) radio into full-duplex, by only using a monostatic (single) antenna and a digital self-interference cancellation (DSIC) algorithm.

Full-duplex (FD) communication is achieved with a low complexity design, employing only a single (monostatic) antenna for passive suppression and digital cancellation, and no additional stages and hardware.
Full Description
With this architecture, full-duplex (FD) communication is achieved with a low complexity design, employing only a single (monostatic) antenna for passive suppression and digital cancellation, and no additional stages and hardware, unlike the existing designs. Existing designs employ multiple antennas or single antenna along with duplexer or circulators for passive suppression, followed by an RF (radio frequency) cancellation circuit for active analog suppression before digital cancellation; while our architecture only involves our monostatic (single) antenna for passive suppression and digital cancellation.

Total SI Cancellation of FD radio up to 99 dB
FD communication for low to moderate power, short to medium distance range

Application fields: Wherever Wi-Fi devices are used:
Home Networks (data-video delivery, baby monitoring, security...)
High throughput networks
-Automotives
-Dense networks - stadiums
-Virtual reality (VR) games
-Augmented reality (AR) shopping
-Telemedicine
Security systems
Relay and mesh networks

Current stage is TRL 5, technology is patented in Türkiye and in the U.S.
Advantages and Innovations
Traditional half-duplex (HD) radios, separate the transmission and reception operations either in frequency domain (Frequency Division Duplexing, FDD) or in time domain (Time Division Duplexing, TDD) Due to high Self Interference (SI) signal observed at the receiver from its own transmitter.

Full Duplex (FD) is a recent technology that allows a radio device to simultaneously transmit and receive wireless signals, by employing SI cancellation at different levels.
FD can double the spectral efficiency and link throughput.
FD can significantly improve the total wireless system/network throughput, especially in case of hidden terminals.
FD can significantly reduce round-trip latency for data transmission.

With this architecture, full-duplex (FD) communication is achieved with a low complexity design, employing only a single (monostatic) antenna for passive suppression and digital cancellation, and no additional stages and hardware, unlike the existing designs.
