Antenna Allocation Scheme for Full-Duplex Communication in IEEE 802.11ac WLAN

Abstract

We proposed an antenna allocation scheme for a full-duplex communication in IEEE 802.11ac WLAN. In the proposed scheme, an access point (AP) with multiple antennas finds the optimal number of the antennas for transmitting and receiving signals to maximize the sum capacity of the uplink and downlink transmissions. We carry out a simulation and show that the proposed scheme can improve the sum capacity in the full-duplex wireless networks.als to maximize the sum capacity of the uplink and downlink transmissions. We carry out a simulation and show that the proposed scheme can improve the sum capacity in the full-duplex wireless networks.1
