Abstract

Recently full-duplex communication in wireless networks is enabled by the advancement of self-interference cancellation technology. Full-duplex radio is a promising technology for next-generation wireless local area networks (WLAN) because it can simultaneously transmit and receive signals within the same frequency band. Since legacy medium access control (MAC) protocols are designed based on half-duplex communication, they are not suitable for full-duplex communication. In this paper, we discuss considerations of full-duplex communication and propose a novel full-duplex MAC protocol. We conducted a simulation to measure the throughput of our MAC protocol. Through the simulation results, we can verify that significant throughput gains of the proposed full-duplex MAC protocol, thus comparing the basic full-duplex MAC protocol.

최근 자기간섭제거 기술의 발전으로 무선 네트워크에서 전이중통신이 가능하게 되었다. 전이중통신은 같은 채널에서 동시에 송/수신을 할 수 있기 때문에 차세대 무선통신기술로 주목 받고 있다. 기존 MAC(Medium Access Control) 프로토콜들은 반이중통신을 기반으로 설계되었기 때문에 전이중통신에 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전이중 MAC 프로토콜을 설계할 때 고려해야 될 사항에 대해 논의하고, 이를 바탕으로 새로운 전이중 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안된 MAC 프로토콜과 기본 전이중통신을 비교하여 성능향상을 확인한다.
