Integrated access and backhaul (IAB) frameworks for 5G new radio (NR) as a cost-effective alternative to the wired backhaul have been investigated by 3GPP. A promising solution for this framework is the integration of full duplex (FD) technologies to enhance the spectral efficiency and make an efficient use of the network resources-termed FD IAB. However, FD IAB presents significant technical challenges, such as self-interference (SI) in the IAB framework, which may cast doubt over the feasibility of FD IAB. In this article, we present a brief tutorial of the FD IAB framework and its enabling technologies. We then numerically evaluate and discuss the link-level SI reduction and the system-level downlink throughput performance of the FD IAB. Finally, we validate the feasibility of FD IAB using 28 GHz hardware prototype measurements of propagation-domain SI suppression. Our numerical evaluations and prototype measurements confirm that the FD IAB serves as a promising framework for 5G NR.
