Techniques and architectures for multi-stage cancellation of self-interference (SI) and joint cancellation of mutual-interference (MI) and residual SI in signals received by devices of a full-duplex multi-cell network are disclosed. In various examples, channel estimations and interference cancellation operations are performed utilizing multiple orthogonal training signals transmitted by network devices during a common over-the-air training period. Training signals derived from the orthogonal training signals during transmission are utilized to generate SI estimation information and perform at least a first SI cancellation operation on a received signal that includes at least first and second orthogonal training signals. The received signal and orthogonal training signals are then used to estimate a MI channel impulse response and a (residual) SI channel impulse response for use in joint MI/SI cancellation operations on further received signals. Details regarding the design of the orthogonal training signals and a unique system-level delay calibration procedure are also provided.
