Summary: 
In this paper, we consider interference suppression for a full-duplex (FD) multiuser system based on single-carrier transmission in frequency-selective channels where a FD base-station (BS) simultaneously communicates with half-duplex (HD) uplink and downlink mobile users. We propose a design method for time-domain filtering where the filters in the BS transmitter suppress inter-symbol interference (ISI) and downlink inter-user interference (IUI); those in the BS receiver, self-interference, ISI, and uplink IUI; and those in the downlink mobile users, co-channel interference (CCI) without the channel state information of the CCI channels. Simulation results indicate that the FD system based on the proposed method outperforms the conventional HD system and FD system based on multicarrier transmission.
