In this letter, we propose a modified version of Fast Independent Component Analysis (FICA) algorithm to solve the self-interference cancellation (SIC) problem in In-band Full Duplex (IBFD) communication systems. The complex mixing problem is mathematically formulated to suit the real-valued blind source separation (BSS) algorithms. In addition, we propose a method to estimate the ambiguity factors associated with ICA lumped together with the channels and residual separation error. Experiments were performed on an FD platform where FICA-based BSS was applied for SIC in the frequency domain. Experimental results show superior performance compared to least squares SIC by up to 6 dB gain in the SNR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
