Abstract

Full duplex radio acts as an important role in the future wireless networks since it can transmit and receive data simultaneously over the same channel. However, there are just a few medium access control (MAC) protocols designed for asymmetric full duplex radio networks, most of existed protocols are only suitable for fixed uplink and downlink nodes, which leads to a waste of channel resource. In this paper, we propose a novel MAC protocol for full duplex radio networks depend on the different transmission characteristics of uplink and downlink. To make an efficient use of channel and improve the network throughput, the proposed protocol is composed of two parts, uplink initiated link (UIL) based and downlink initiated (DIL) link based, respectively. In UIL model, access point (AP) can transmit data to different stations according to the UIL transmission slot design, vice versa in DIL model. The analysis and simulation results indicate that the proposed MAC protocol achieves throughput gains compared to existing protocol.
