16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising: transferring the transmitted signal generated from a transmit module of the node to an antenna, transferring the received signal received through the antenna to a receive module of the node, and inputting a self-interference signal by the self-interference to the analog filter.
17. A method for canceling self-interference of a communication node of an in-band full duplex (IFD) system, the method comprising:
transmitting a first signal and simultaneously receiving a second signal with other communication nodes;
determining a filter coefficient of an analog filter which is included in the node and is operated in an analog domain; and
canceling self-interference generated in the second signal by the first signal based on the filter coefficient,
wherein the first signal is transmitted when a training field of the node is in a transmitting phase and a training field of the other communication nodes is in an empty phase.
