System and method for MAC design of a full-duplex centralized cellular network

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for scheduling full-duplex communications between half-duplex mobile devices and a full-duplex capable access point. The system receives, within a time window, tones from a plurality of mobile devices, the tones indicating that each device in the plurality of devices are performing one of uploading data and downloading data. The system pairs the plurality of devices into pairs of an uploading device and a downloading device, where the pairing is based on an interference each device in the plurality of devices causes with remaining devices in the plurality of devices, to yield a list of paired devices. Upon communicating the list of paired devices to the plurality of devices, one device of each pair transmits data to the base station in a frequency channel while the other device receives data from the base station in the same frequency.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, within a time window, a respective tone from each of a plurality of devices, the respective tone indicating that each device in the plurality of devices is performing one of uploading data and downloading data; receiving, from each of the plurality of devices, a list of interfering devices, wherein the list of interfering devices comprises devices determined by each respective device to produce interference above a threshold in the each respective device based on the respective tone; pairing the plurality of devices into pairs of an uploading device and a downloading device, where the pairing is based on other device interference each device in the plurality of devices causes with remaining devices in the plurality of devices and the list of interfering devices received from each of the plurality of devices, to yield a list of paired devices; communicating the list of paired devices to the plurality of devices; and generating a schedule for full-duplex communications using the list of paired devices.
