This article provides an overview of research on full-duplex at the University of California, Riverside, in the past decade. This research was initially focused on self-interference (SI) cancellation, then moved to applications of full-duplex to improve network spectral efficiency, and in recent years advanced to discover full-duplex's potentials for wireless network security. The research on SI cancellation has resulted in both hardware-based SI cancellation results and some advanced theoretical architectures which show promises but are yet to be tested via advanced hardware implementations. The applications of full-duplex for optimized spectral efficiency in ad hoc, cognitive and cellular networks have shown how to optimize power allocation among full-duplex nodes, in their antenna beamspace and over multiple subcarriers. Full-duplex has also been found to be highly beneficial for improving secrecy capacity between legitimate users against eavesdropping. Among the new capabilities that full-duplex provides for network security is an effective anti-eavesdropping channel estimation scheme which is not possible for nodes without full-duplex.
