Abstract: Techniques and architectures for multi-stage cancellation of self-interference (SI) and joint cancellation of mutual-interference (MI) and residual SI in signals received by devices of a full-duplex multi-cell network are disclosed. In various examples, channel estimations and interference cancellation operations are performed utilizing multiple orthogonal training signals transmitted by network devices during a common over-the-air training period. Training signals derived from the orthogonal training signals during transmission are utilized to generate SI estimation information and perform at least a first SI cancellation operation on a received signal that includes at least first and second orthogonal training signals. The received signal and orthogonal training signals are then used to estimate a MI channel impulse response and a (residual) SI channel impulse response for use in joint MI/SI cancellation operations on further received signals.

Abstract: A method for transmitting a full-duplex frame includes scheduling a first flexible allocation resource of a frame as a first resource for a second device served by the first device, scheduling a second flexible allocation resource of the frame as a second resource for a third device served by the first device, and generating the frame including the flexible allocation resources and a first half-duplex training period configured to convey a first training signal, where the first half-duplex training period and the first training signal facilitate an estimation of a channel impulse response (CIR) of a communications channel between a transmit antenna of the first device and a receive antenna of the first device. The method also includes transmitting the frame, and simultaneously receiving the frame.
