Supporting Asymmetric Transmission for Full-Duplex Smart-Home Networks

Full-Duplex WiFi Networks

The device in conventional half-duplex WiFi networks cannot perform carrier sensing while in data transmission; thus it suffers from long collision duration. To mitigate this problem, this chapter introduces full-duplex (FD) technology into WiFi networks. A novel CSMA/CD protocol design is first presented for singlechannel FD-WiFi, which facilitates continuous carrier sensing and transmission s...

Supporting Tasks in a Programmable Smart Home

One of the most promising domains of pervasive computing is in the area of healthcare. There has been a lot of interest in seeing how smart homes can foster independent living and an enhanced life style for elderly and disabled people, and how active, information-rich hospitals can support both patients and the medical staff in their daily activities. However, one of the key challenges in the a...

Full-Duplex Cellular Networks: It Works!

Full-duplex (FD) communications with bidirectional transmitting and receiving at the same time and frequency radio resource have long been deemed a promising way to boost spectrum efficiency, but hindered by the techniques for self-interference cancellation (SIC). Recent breakthroughs in analog and digital signal processing yield the feasibility of beyond 100 dB SIC capability and make it possi...
