Abstract

Using full duplex communication systems called FD, is a new technique for increasing the spectral efficiency. That`s why it has been considered seriously in the new generation of communication systems. The main challenge of the full-duplex system is the self-interference, which has to be decreased properly. In this paper, we consider a full-duplex cellular network base station and using the antenna selection technique to reduce its self-interference issue. For appropriate antenna selection, we present a new criterion. In this new criterion, antenna selection has been modeled and solved as a multi-objective optimization problem. In this new criterion, antennas which simultaneously minimizes interference channel gain and maximizes uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) channel gains are selected for transmission and reception. Since the goal of the base station is a good performance in both the UL and DL channels and reduction of the self-interference simultaneously, the multi-objective criterion has a better performance when compared to single-objective criteria. In the common single-objective criteria, only the UL and DL channels or interference channel is considered. Finally, simulation results show that the new criterion has more throughput rate than the other single-objective antenna selection technique in the full duplex systems.
