Abstract

Continuously increasing the data rate in wireless networks is required to satisfy the ever-increasing service demands. Full-duplex (FD), a promising technology for wireless networks, is able to double the data rate theoretically. Although several researchers study the physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) protocols of FD technology, there are few study focusing on the multiuser MAC protocol design for the next generation wireless networks. In this paper, a power control (PC) based multiuser FD MAC protocol, named PC MU-FuPlex, is proposed. Moreover, the probability of establishing FD link is formulated specifically. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MAC protocol significantly improves the saturation throughput up to 200% compared to that without PC in higher modulation.
