Abstract

Full-duplex base-stations with half-duplex nodes, allowing simultaneous uplink and downlink from different nodes, have the potential to double the spectrum efficiency without adding additional complexity at mobile nodes. Hybrid beam-forming is commonly used in millimeter wave systems for its implementation efficiency. An important element of hybrid beam-forming is quantized phase shifters. In this paper, we ask if low-resolution phase shifters suffice for beamforming-based full-duplex millimeter wave systems. We formulate the problem of joint design for both self-interference suppression and downlink beamforming as an optimization problem, which we solve using penalty dual decomposition to obtain a near-optimal solution. Numerical results indicate that low-resolution phase shifters can perform close to systems that use infinite phase shifter resolution, and that even a single quantization bit outperforms half-duplex transmissions in both low and high residual self-interference scenarios.
