Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In-band full-duplex communication systems face challenges in decoding received signals due to self-interference created by simultaneous transmission and reception, with existing suppression techniques limiting their application and requiring accurate self-interference channel estimation.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilizes a set of symmetric preambles in the received signal to eliminate the self-interference channel estimate, employing an adaptive filter to determine and cancel the self-interference signal, allowing for effective decoding of the received signal.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If in-band full-duplex communication is implemented for simultaneous transmission and reception, then communication efficiency is improved, but self-interference degrades signal decoding
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the transmitted signal itself (the source of self-interference) to generate an estimate of the self-interference channel. By processing the known transmitted signal through the self-interference channel estimate, the system creates a cancellation signal that removes the harmful self-interference from the received signal, thereby enabling simultaneous transmission and reception
2Reliability
If existing self-interference suppression techniques are used, then some self-interference cancellation is achieved, but application scope is limited and accurate channel estimation is required
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by using its own transmitted signal to estimate the self-interference channel and generate the cancellation signal. This self-contained approach does not require external calibration signals or complex coordinated procedures with other nodes, making the technique more universally applicable across different wireless communication scenarios

AI summary
Embodiments herein provide a method for decoding received signal by node in wireless communication system. The method includes receiving a signal from a first User Equipment (UE), where the received signal comprises a set of preambles in which each preamble is identical to an at least one preamble in a preamble structure and obtaining a composite signal comprising a self- interference signal, where the self-interference signal is known at the node. Further, the method includes determining self-interference channel estimate using the composite signal and decoding the received signal by eliminating the self-interference signal from the received signal based on the self- interference channel estimate.
