Robust Digital Non-Linear Self-Interference Cancellation in Full Duplex Radios with Maximum Correntropy Criterion

Full duplex radio increases the frequency efficiency but its performance is limited by the self-interference （SI）. We first analyze the multiple noises in the full duplex radio system and model such noises as an α - stable distribution. Then we formulate a novel non-Gaussian SI problem. Under the maximum correntropy criterion （MCC）, a robust digital non-linear self-interference cancellation algorithm is proposed for the SI channel estimation. A gradient descent based algorithm is derived to search the optimal solution. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a smaller estimation error and a higher pseudo signal to interference plus noise ratio （PSINR） than the well-known least mean square （LMS） algorithm and least square （LS） algorithm.
