Relayed communication with versatile self-interference cancellation
First Claim
1. A method for providing self-interference cancellation in two-way relayed electromagnetic communication between a first device and a second device through a relay station, the first device being capable of transmitting a modulated near signal and receiving a composite signal containing a relayed version of the modulated near signal a relayed version of a modulated far signal transmitted from the second device, the method comprising the steps of:
- retrofitting existing equipment at the first device by adding a canceler module, wherein the existing equipment comprises a transmitter system and a receiver system;
providing a version of the modulated near signal as a first non-baseband interface signal from the transmitter system to the canceler module;
providing a version of the composite signal as a second non-baseband interface signal from the receiver system to the canceler module;
at the canceler module, generating a cancellation signal corresponding to the relayed version of the modulated near signal, using the first non-baseband interface signal and the second non-baseband interface signal;
at the canceler module, applying the cancellation signal to a version of the second non-baseband interface signal, to produce a cancellation-processed signal as a third non-baseband interface signal from the canceler module; and
providing the cancellation-processed signal to the receiver system.
