FULL DUPLEX UPLINK COMMUNICATION EXPLOITING DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEM FOR 5TH GENERATION CELLULAR NETWORK

Abstract

Rapid growth of consumer demand for worldwide wireless communication has motivated the development of fifth generation mobile communication system which is 5G. It has encouraged higher frequency range with better service quality. For meeting the demand of increasing users, in-band full duplex communication has been proposed as a new scheme in 5G. Full duplex is significantly better than half duplex as it transmits and receives data signal simultaneously at the same frequency channel. But one of the major challenges in this technique is self-interference. In this content, we proposed a system model for uplink communication exploiting distributed antenna system to reduce self-interference to an extent and thus making the overall network performance better. The DAS proposed here is modified version of the conventional one. After comprehensive simulation of the proposed system, its performance is evaluated and compared with the existing DAS technology under different parameter setting and scenarios.
