The emerging 5th generation and beyond wireless systems will experience a significant increase in the number of connected devices and high volume of data traffic. Additionally, high traffic load variations among heterogeneous network cells over time pose an extra challenge, due to the possible asymmetric traffic and dynamics between the uplink and downlink communications. The full-duplex (FD) technology, by which devices transmit and receive simultaneously on the same frequency band, can potentially double the spectral efficiency and allow a more…

Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling is a promising physical layer technique that has the potential to improve the spectral efficiency (bits/sec/Hz) substantially in communications systems. It refers to the transmission of information-bearing pulses at rates beyond the limit developed in the seminal work of Nyquist back in 1920’s; transmission at FTN rates results in inter-symbol interference (ISI) at the receiver which deteriorates performance (reliability) rapidly. The roots of FTN signaling trace back to 1960s and 1970s; in particular, in was shown in…

Track Chair Himal A. Suraweera, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, email: himal@ee.pdn.ac.lk Scope and Motivation Full-duplex (FD) technology, by which devices transmit and receive simultaneously on the same frequency band, can potentially double the spectral efficiency and allow a more flexible use of the spectrum, therefore making it a promising technology for future wireless networks. However, FD radios suffer from severe self-interference (SI), as well as extra cross interference between the uplink and downlink caused by simultaneous transmissions, which further…
