Full Duplex for Next Generation of 802.11

Abstract

Next generation of 802.11 Wireless Local Network (WLAN) demands higher throughput and lower latency. Full duplex (FD) technology is a promising solution to meet those requirements. This paper presents FD-based data transmission protocol for WLAN applications. Collision detection is considered to allow FD-capable STAs to listen to the media while transmitting, thus parallel transmissions can be potentially recognized in order to improve system efficiency. System level simulation results are provided to evaluate system throughput, latency and collision rates of FD-based WLAN.
