Interference surge in full-duplex wireless systems

Historically unfeasible because of self-interference, full duplexing has now been experimentally demonstrated and is on the verge of commercial feasibility thanks to advances in self-interference cancellation. This will disrupt the interference landscape in wireless networks, bringing about an unprecedented richness whereby every transmitter interferes with every receiver. This paper characterizes the actual increase in system spectral efficiency given all this interference, and in the process it identifies new needs in interference management.
