Abstract:

Recent progresses in signal processing have established in-band full-duplex competence at WiFi ranges. Moreover to concurrent two-way exchange between two nodes, full-duplex access points can possibly support simultaneous uplink and downlink flows. In this paper, we suggest a medium access control (MAC) protocol for refining throughput in full-duplex WLANs. The suggested MAC protocol familiarizes a dynamic contention window (CW) control at access point (AP) to increase the chance for full-duplex operations. In the suggested MAC protocol, an onset is set in the transmission queue length in APs. Small and large CWs are used adaptively. As soon as the transmission queue length of an AP surpasses the onset, the small CW is used for back off time calculation, which ranks the AP’s transmission opportunity.
