Abstract

A method by which a first network node cancels a self-interference signal when operating in a full duplex radio (FDR) mode in a wireless network can comprise the steps of: cancelling a self-interference signal on the basis of frequency synchronization estimation of the self-interference signal when frequencies of a reception signal received from a second network node and the self-interference signal are asynchronous; and estimating frequency synchronization of the reception signal by using a residual signal according to the cancellation of the self-interference signal, and detecting the reception signal on the basis of the frequency synchronization estimation of the reception signal.

What is claimed is:

1. A method of cancelling a self-interference signal by a first network node operating in an FDR (Full Duplex Radio) mode in a wireless network, the method comprising:
receiving the self-interference signal and a reception signal received from a second network node,
wherein a first frequency synchronization of the self-interference signal does not match a second frequency synchronization of the reception signal,
estimating the first frequency synchronization of the self-interference signal using a preamble;
cancelling the self-interference signal based on the estimated first frequency synchronization of the self-interference signal;
estimating the second frequency synchronization of the reception signal using a residual signal after the cancelling the self-interference signal,
decoding the reception signal based on the estimated second frequency synchronization of the reception signal,
wherein the preamble is for a frequency synchronization of a transmission signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancelling the self-interference signal further comprises:
transforming the self-interference signal into a signal of a frequency domain based on the first frequency synchronization of the self-interference signal;
estimating the channel of the self-interference signal based on the transformed signal of the frequency domain;
generating a self-interference signal in the frequency domain based on the channel estimation of the self-interference signal; and
transforming the generated self-interference signal in the frequency domain into a self-interference signal of a time domain.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the cancelling the self-interference signal further comprises cancelling the self-interference signal by subtracting the transformed self-interference signal of the time domain from the reception signal received from the second network node and the synchronization self-interference signal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second network node operates in the FDR mode.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transforming the residual signal into a residual signal of a time domain after the compensating for a frequency offset based on the second frequency synchronization of the reception signal; and
detecting the reception signal based on channel estimation on the transformed residual signal of the time domain.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein an estimation of the second frequency synchronization of the reception signal is performed based on a preamble of the reception signal contained in the residual signal after the self-interference signal is cancelled.

7. A first network node operating in an FDR (Full Duplex Radio) mode for cancelling a self-interference signal in a wireless network, the first network node comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor configured to:
receive the self-interference signal and a reception signal received from a second network node,
wherein a first frequency synchronization of the self-interference signal does not match a second frequency synchronization of the reception signal

cancel the self-interference signal by estimating a channel of the self-interference signal based on the estimated first frequency synchronization of the self-interference signal,
estimate the second frequency synchronization of the reception signal using a residual signal after the cancelling the self-interference signal, and
decoding the reception signal based on the estimated second frequency synchronization of the reception signal,
wherein the preamble is for a frequency synchronization of a transmission signal.

8. The first network node of claim 7 , wherein:
the processor is further configured to:
transform the self-interference signal into a signal of a frequency domain based on the first frequency synchronization of the self-interference signal,
estimate the channel of the self-interference signal based on the transformed signal of the frequency domain,
generate a self-interference signal of the frequency domain based on the channel estimation of the self-interference signal, and
transform the generated self-interference signal of the frequency domain into a self-interference signal of the time domain.

9. The first network node of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to cancel the self-interference signal by subtracting the transformed self-interference signal of the time domain from the reception signal received from the second network node and the self-interference signal.

10. The first network node of claim 7 , wherein:
the processor is further configured to:
transform the residual signal into a residual signal of a time domain after the compensating for a frequency offset based on the second frequency synchronization estimation of the reception signal, and
detect the reception signal based on channel estimation on the transformed residual signal of the time domain.

11. The first network node of claim 7 , wherein the second network node operates in the FDR mode.

12. The first network node of claim 7 , wherein an estimation of the second frequency synchronization of the reception signal is performed based on a preamble of the reception signal contained in the residual signal after the self-interference signal is cancelled.
