The following areas are of particular interest for this special issue:

1. Modeling of hardware and propagation effects relevant to the design and analysis of full-duplex wireless systems, especially those relating to the issue of self-interference.

2. Analysis of system performance and of theoretical performance limits, including channel capacity, network capacity, and latency for a variety of practical full-duplex wireless system topologies (e.g., SISO, MIMO, relay, multi-user, multi-hop).

3. Design of modulation schemes, channel codes, signal processing algorithms, and network protocols that facilitate the practical implementation of full-duplex wireless systems.  Relevant network design topics include resource management, medium access control, scheduling, and cross-layer design for practical full-duplex systems.

4. Experimental evaluation of full-duplex system implementations that quantify the actual gains achievable with modern design techniques.
