1. A self-interference cancellation apparatus comprising:
- a channel estimator estimating a radio channel between a transmit antenna of a relay and a receive antenna of the relay;
an estimated self-interference generator generating an estimated self-interference based on an estimated radio channel; and
a self-interference cancellation unit canceling the estimated self-interference in a received signal received via the receive antenna,wherein the relay transmits data and comprises;
a reference signal generator configured to generate self-interference cancellation reference signal and an uplink reference signal, generating the uplink reference signal using an uplink reference signal sequence that is selected from a reference signal sequence group including a plurality of reference signal sequences, for the base station to perform a coherent demodulation, anda transmitter to transmit the self-interference cancellation reference signal, the data, and the uplink reference signal to a base station accessing the relay, andwherein the channel estimator receives the self-interference cancellation reference signal and estimates a radio channel based on the received self-interference cancellation reference signal.

Abstract
Provided is a self-interference cancellation method and apparatus that may remove self-interference occurring when a transmission signal of a transmit antenna is received, directly or via a reflector, by a receive antenna in a relay using the same frequency band in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based radio communication system.
