Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-Empowered Self-Interference Cancellation for 6G Full-Duplex MIMO Communication Systems
share
With the advent of sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication networks, it requires substantially increasing wireless traffic and extending serving coverage. Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is widely considered as a promising technique which is capable of improving the system data rate, energy efficiency and coverage extension as well as the benefit of low power consumption. Moreover, full-duplex (FD) transmission provides simultaneous transmit and received signals, which theoretically enhances twice spectrum efficiency. However, the self-interference (SI) in FD is a challenging task requiring complex and high-overhead cancellation, which can be resolved by configuring appropriate phase of RIS elements. This paper has proposed an RIS-empowered full-duplex self-interference cancellation (RFSC) scheme to alleviate the severe SI in an RIS-FD system. We consider the SI minimization of RIS-FD uplink (UL) while guaranteeing quality-of-service (QoS) of UL users. The closed-form solution is theoretically derived by exploiting Lagrangian method under different numbers of RIS elements and receiving antennas. Simulation results reveal that the proposed RFSC scheme outperforms the scenario without RIS deployment in terms of higher signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). Due to effective interference mitigation, the proposed RFSC can achieve the highest SINR compared to other existing schemes in open literatures.
