Full-duplex Infrastructure Nodes: Achieving Long Range with Half-duplex Mobiles

Full-duplex Wireless: Design, Implementation and Characterization. by Melissa Duarte One of the fundamental assumptions made in the design of wireless networks is that the wireless devices have to be half-duplex, i.e., they cannot simultaneously transmit and receive in the same frequency band. The key deterrent in implementing a full-duplex wireless device, which can simultaneously transmit and...

Recent wireless testbed implementations have proven that full-duplex communication is in fact possible and can outperform half-duplex systems. Many of these implementations modify existing halfduplex systems to operate in full-duplex. To realize the full potential of full-duplex, radios need to be designed with self-interference in mind. In our work, we use a novel patch antenna prototype in an...

The research breakthrough on the hardware implementation of wireless fullduplex transmission has attracted significant interests on building full-duplex wireless networks in recent years. However, due to the asymmetry of real traffic flows, it is challenging to improve the network performance by effectively utilizing the full-duplex capacity. In this paper, we investigate the transmission delay...

When a wireless node has multiple RF chains, there are several techniques that are possible; MIMO, full-duplex and interference alignment. This paper aims to unify these techniques into a single wireless node. It proposes to make a wireless node fully flexible such that it can choose any number of its RF chains for transmission and the remaining for simultaneous reception. Thus, MIMO and full d...

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is an interesting concept to provide higher capacity for future wireless communications. In this article, we consider the feasibility and benefits of combining full-duplex operation with NOMA for modern communication systems. Specifically, we provide a comprehensive overview on application of full-duplex NOMA in cellular networks, cooperative and cognitive ...

Self-energyrecycling (sER), which allows transmit energy reutilization, has emerged as a viable option for improving the efficiency (EE) in low-power Internet of Things networks. In this article, we investigate its benefits also terms reliability improvements and compare performance full-duplex (FD) half-duplex (HD) schemes when using multiantenna techniques communication system. We analyze tra...

We present a full-duplex bidirectional data transmission link using twisted lights multiplexing over 1.1-km orbital angular momentum (OAM) fiber. OAM+1 and OAM-1 modes carrying 20-Gbit/s quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) signals are employed in the downlink and uplink transmission experiments. The observed mode crosstalks are less than -15.2 dB, and the full-duplex crosstalks are less than -...
