A method for increasing cellular system capacity includes receiving a
signal in a time slot and a frequency band and transmitting a signal in
the same time slot and the same frequency band. An adaptive
self-interference canceller is used to reduce the radio frequency
self-interference created by receiving and transmitting signals in the
same time slot and the same frequency band. The self-interference can be
further reduced by using: (1) a circulator connected between an antenna,
a receiver, and a transmitter; (2) separate antennas for receiving and
transmitting signals can be used; and/or (3) an adaptive antenna.
