SINR optimization in wideband full-duplex MIMO relays under limited dynamic range

We develop a method for self-interference mitigation in wideband full-duplex multiple-input multiple-output regenerative relays, taking into account transmitter impairments and limited receiver dynamic range. The method combines a cancellation and suppression architecture by incorporating feedforward filters at both sides of the relay. The design criterion is to maximize the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the relay input. On the transmit side, linear constraints are imposed in order to control the effect on the information signal at destination. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method both in terms of self-interference reduction and SINR improvement.
