Single channel full duplex wireless communication
First Claim
1. A single channel full duplex wireless communication system, comprising:
- a processor;
a transmitter connected to the processor, the transmitter transmitting a transmission signal via a transmission path;
a receiver connected to the processor, the receiver receiving a received signal via a reception path, wherein the transmitter and the receiver utilize one channel, at the same time, to transmit and receive said transmission and received signals, wherein a portion of the transmission signal is leaked, said leakage causing self-interference in the received signal;
a secondary transmission path connected to the processor;
the processor estimating a first transfer function, wherein the input to the first transfer function is adjusted by the first transfer function so as to produce an output to reduce the self-interference in the received signal, and feeding the input of the secondary transmission path with the output from the first transfer function;
a combiner to combine the received signal with the output from the secondary transmission path, thereby removing at least a fraction of the self-interference; and
a transmission feedback path, the transmission feedback path output being modified by a second transfer function; and
a secondary transmission feedback path, the secondary transmission feedback path output being modified by a third transfer function, such that combining of the modified transmission feedback path output and the modified secondary transmission feedback path output with the reception path output reduces a remaining fraction of the self-interference.

Abstract
A single channel full duplex wireless communication system includes a processor, a transmitter, a receiver, a secondary transmission path, a combining element, a primary transmission feedback path and a secondary transmission feedback path. The transmitter transmits a transmission signal via a transmission path. The receiver receives a received signal via a reception path. The transmitter and the receiver utilize one channel to transmit and receive signals. The transmission signal causes self-interference. The processor estimates a first transfer function and feeds the secondary transmission path with the transmission signal adjusted by the first transfer function to reduce the transmission signal leaked to the reception path. The combining element combines the transmission signal with the adjusted secondary transmission path signal to remove the self-interference. The primary transmission feedback path output is modified by a second transfer function. The secondary transmission feedback path output is modified by a third transfer function.
