Abstract

Digital-domain self-interference cancellation is essential in in-band full-duplex radios after passive suppression and analog cancellation. It is particularly challenging when the desired signal is strong relative to the residual self-interference.

In this regime, conventional iterative digital cancellers update their coefficients from desired-signal-contaminated received samples and may suffer substantial performance degradation. This paper reformulates digital-domain self-interference cancellation as an operator-learning problem.

The proposed framework learns the temporal evolution of the residual self-interference channel from historical observations and uses the learned operator together with the known local transmit signal to reconstruct the current residual self-interference. A Transformer neural operator is used to realize this framework.

The resulting method is trained in a desired-signal-free setting and then applied in the presence of a desired signal. A continuity-based analysis characterizes the sensitivity of the learned operator to the resulting input perturbation.

Numerical experiments in static and time-varying channels, including time-varying SIR conditions, demonstrate stable cancellation performance over a wide range of interference levels. At 30 dB SIR, the proposed method improves the cancellation performance by 5--15 dB over the considered conventional methods.
