Abstract
An efficiently-transformed digital self-interference canceller, preferably including an FD transformer, a TD transformer, a channel estimator, a composer, and a controller. The canceller can optionally include a channel memory, a predictor, and/or an extender. A method for digital self-interference cancelation, preferably including receiving inputs, transforming the inputs, generating outputs based on the transformed inputs, transforming the outputs, and/or generating a cancellation signal based on the outputs.
Claims1
A method for digital self-interference cancellation, comprising, at a communication system, implementing a feedback loop to reduce self-interference in a receive signal, wherein implementing the feedback loop comprises:
- at a digital canceller of the communication system, generating a self-interference cancellation signal;
- generating a residue signal from the receive signal and the self-interference cancellation signal;
- and
- providing the residue signal to the digital canceller, wherein the feedback loop comprises the residue signal, the digital canceller, and the self-interference cancellation signal;
- wherein an iteration of generating the self-interference cancellation signal comprises:
- receiving the residue signal and a digital transmit sample;
- generating a reduced-noise digital residue signal based on the residue signal;
- based on the digital transmit sample and the reduced-noise digital residue signal, generating a self-interference channel estimate;
- at a predictor of the digital canceller, generating a predicted self-interference channel estimate based on the self-interference channel estimate;
- and
- determining the self-interference cancellation signal based on the predicted self-interference channel estimate and the digital transmit sample.
