RCFD: A frequency-based channel access scheme for full-duplex wireless networks
Abstract
Recently, several working implementations of inband full-duplex wireless systems have been presented, where the same node can transmit and receive simultaneously in the same frequency band. The introduction of such a possibility at the physical layer could lead to improved performance but also poses several challenges at the MAC layer. In this paper, an innovative mechanism of channel contention in full-duplex OFDM wireless networks is proposed. This strategy is able to ensure efficient transmission scheduling with the result of avoiding collisions and effectively exploiting full-duplex opportunities. As a consequence, considerable performance improvements are observed with respect to standard and state-of-the-art MAC protocols for wireless networks, as highlighted by extensive simulations performed in ad hoc wireless networks with varying number of nodes.
