1 Full-duplex (Two-way) Wireless: Antenna Design and Signal Processing Amir K. Khandani Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada Abstract—Current wireless systems are one-way (similar to with directional antennas, and free-space optics. The impact walkie-talkies), meaning that disjoint time or frequency segments of full-duplex links in these earlier applications is limited are used to transmit and to receive. Realization of two-way wire- to doubling the rate by providing two symmetrical pipes of less has challenged the research community for many years. This article1 establishes the theory and presents practical realization data flowing in opposite directions. In contrast, in multi-user of two-way (true full-duplex) wireless. In contrast to the widely wireless systems, due to the broadcast nature of transmission accepted beliefs, it is shown that two-way wireless is not only (everyone hears everyone else), full-duplex capability has the feasible, but is fairly simple, with virtually no degradation in potential to do more than merely doubling the rate, e.g., it 2 signal-to-noise-ratio . The innovation is in the antenna design facilitates networking, collaborative transmission, and security. and multiple levels for cancelling self-interference. Methods are developed to support Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) To cancel the self-interference in analog domain, an Aux- two-way transmission (increasing multip
